Question

What kind of food does a guinea pig eat, besides pellets?

Answer 1

You should have a constant amount of timothy hay.

They need veggies every SINGLE day. Try mixing them up!

Veggies: Lettuce (Romaine and not too much of it or your guinea pig will get diarrhea), kale (really good for them)

Fruit: Rasberry's,  strawberry's,ect.

Answer 2

kale lettuce most stuff like that, fruits but NOT IceBerg lettuce no matter what! hay is also needed for them

Answer 3

Timothy hay is great, also if they are little alfalfa hay. Mine also eat uncooked washed corn on the cob, tomatos, carrots, bananas, lettuce, strawberries, apples. i also get them a mixture between pellets, and corn. pellets get a little boring

Answer 4

Besides their usual dry food guinea pigs should have a constant supply of fresh hay to forage on,

They can also eat plenty of fresh veg, mine love spring greens, carrots,

celery, runner beans, corn on the cob, apples, pears, cucumber & parsnips are among some of my guineapigs favourites,

They shouldn't be given lettuce such as iceberg or things such as potatoes,

The more variety they have at a younger age the more different types of food they will enjoy

Hope thats of some help.

Answer 5

hay, LOTS of hay, carrots, lettuce, apples, grapes, grass, dandelion leaves, pears .. it all depends. experiment with it and google what's healthy for them to eat too

Answer 6

Hay, they have to have hay at all times. Timothy hay is necessary for babies and young pigs and then orchard hay is ok. I give mine grass out of the yard also. I live in the country and the grass is pesticide free.

Also, veggies and a fruit treat. You should give veggies every day. I give them in the morning and at night and the night salad I put fruit in. Mine are really picky and will only eat romaine, red leaf and green leaf lettuce, apples, carrots. You can also give green peppers, cucumber, kale, and other veggies.

Answer 7

nice bit of fruit and veg is nice for them but not to much citris fruits can caus them stomach ache

Answer 8

They can have hamster food, tiny pieces of carrott, cabbage, and lettace

Answer 9

Guinea pigs also NEED an unlimited supply of hay. Timmy hay is best, normal hay is fine.

They also benefit from fruit and vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, cabbage etc.- this gives them vitmins and also gnawing material to keep their teeth down.
