IMPORTANT INFORMATION: I DO FEED MY GUINEA PIGS LETTUCE AND THEY ARE FINE ALSO ALL THE INFORMATION ABOVE IS FROM A BOOK THAT I HAVE BOUGHT.
carrots, celery, cucumber, sprout tops, cabbage and they also love parsley and bananas with skin.
Guinea pigs are usually very willing to try out new things. They need a lot of vitamin C and unlike some rodents can handle tangerines and Oranges. Mine were crazy for carrots, green peppers, broccoli, apples, and green beans.
They can't eat potatoes! Potatoes are toxic to guinea pigs.
As a high school teacher, I vicariously have been raising a cavy who is a recent acquisition of one of my students. Having once been her age (18) I recall my love for all animals, but my lack of insight and knoweldge in how to properly care for them.. I have been bringing in veggies and fruits for her cavy to try; she then takes them home and reports back the next day. Thus far, romaine lettuce, oranges without seeds or rinds, seedless red grapes , gala apple wedges, all in moderation have been hits. She had one cavy prior to this one who loved red grapes. Her new cavy hates them and does not like romaine. There seem to be definite "Do Not Feed" items i.e., green beans, iceberg lettuce, any seeds or nuts of any kind...
Mine loves carrots, broccoli, bannana and cabbage !!!
mine loves apples, carrots, green beans, and oranges, but they can't have onions. Extremely poisonous!!!
They like things with vitamin C, and they just love carrots and kale! But they may turn their noses at things like baby tomatoes. Here is a list of what they should eat that are vegetables:
Bell Peppers
Broccoli
Kale
Carrot
Lettuce (Preferably Romaine)
Celery (Chop up)
Corn leaves
Carrots are number one i only recommend you dont give them letice or cabage because itwill give most guinea pigs upset tummys and their poop will not be normal at all.
We frequently pet-sit for my friend who has a guinea pig. Ruby loves romaine lettuce (she'll nibble the leaves and leave the center core of each leaf which is tougher). She also loves: strawberry tops, yes, the green part to nibble around the pit of a peach, plum etc. celery carrots iceberg lettuce
They can eat any vegetable, they also like fruits.
well all i know is: carrots, lettuce but it HAS to be green lettuce or red lettuce NO ICEBERG, cucumbers, , green peppers THEY CANT BE SPICY!!!! celery, broccoli, and parsley for fruit they can have bananas, apples, oranges, Pears, SEEDLESS MUST BE SEEDLESS grapes BUT MAKE SURE TO AVOID THE BANANA AND GRAPES VERY OFTEN THEY WILL GIVE THEM DIARRHEA! they are very great pets!
In addition to vegetables, guinea pigs require constant access to a specific type of hay called timothy. 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.
Hi ,
Guinea Pig's are pets that need tons of vitamin C.
So you might want to look into giving them fruits, as well.
But good veggies for a guinea pig/guinea pig's would be:
-Carrots
-Celery
-Green Peppers
-Red Peppers
-Broccoli
-Romaine Lettuce
And more
My three male guinea pigs like washed wet lettuce and washed grass out of the garden fresh every day. You can feed guinea pigs lots of types of veggies but be careful some can be harmful and can make your little cavy sick. To find what veggies you can feed them search passion for pets in Google then click on the link then click care sheets than guinea pig care sheet and then find feeding on one of the pages and it tells you what veggies and fruits you can feed the little things.
First of all, they can have romaine lettuce, celery, cale, raw spinach, etc.
And second, guinea pigs are not farm animals or fast food, estupido.
Seeds are good for guinea pigs in moderation. They should not eat these as a single source of food. Green leafy vegetables should be fed along with the seeds.

Guinea pigs will be able to eat asparagus but it wont be that good for them since asparagus has a good amount of water in it.
