There should always be food available. Always keep food in their dish. They will take the food as they need to. Animals such as this are not fed as you would a dog. Just make sure there is always access to food and water.

Your guinea pig should not get food at meal times like a dog, he or she should have a constantly full bowl of food available at all times. A dog will eat all of its food in case it can't get some later, but a guinea pig will only eat when it is hungry. You should also give it a salad of safe fruits and veggies daily along with a handful (or two handfuls if you have two guinea pigs) of Timothy Hay a day. Timothy provides nutrients that are important to a piggy's diet as well as the rough texture needed to keep their teeth in good condition. Be careful when buying commercially-prepared foods; some less-expensive brands dilute timothy with alfalfa but the latter isn't nutritionally suitable.

Hope this helps,

A Guinea Pig Lover.
They should have an unlimited supply of timothy hay and pellets and they should be fed fresh veggies twice a day.
It's recommended to feed your guinea pigs twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. Sometimes the food packaging will tell you to feed your guinea pigs about 1/4 cup. If you do this, make sure to gice them 1/8 cup in the morning and the other 1/8 cup at night. I've found that my guinea pigs don't need 1/4 cup so just adjust the food amount based on their weight. Hope it helps :)

Well I think they take quite a while to eat because my guinea pigs take ages and really nibble their food.

Do not feed your guinea pig tomatoes, too much lettuce, corn, potatoes, anything that has starch in it. (I learned about the tomato thing when my girl gp died after eating one :( ) you should also not feed your guinea pig too much fruit. too much of it will make your pig diabetic. if you give them any, you should make sure it is no bigger than the size of your thumb.
