No spoiled fruits/veggies. The younger the better. Good luck with your piggie!!

Answer 3

Red or Green Bell Peppers: One slice of a whole pepper, given daily, remove seeds. Very high in vit c, especially the red. Pease note: Bell peppers are not to be confused with red hot chilli peppers which are a totally different food and should never be given to guinea pigs.

Broccoli: Half a floret, including the stalk, twice weekly.

Kale: Two to three small leaves, twice weekly. Not always available in our supermarket.

Carrot: One baby carrot or a small slice of a large carrot, every other day.

Romaine Lettuce: One large leaf, twice weekly. Never give guinea pigs iceberg lettuce, its not nutritious and it can give them an upset tummmy and diarrhoea. To be on the safe side, I give my piggies Romaine lettuce and none of the other varieties.

Celery: One 1/4 of a stick, weekly. Very stringy so needs to be chopped up into small pieces to avoid piggy choking.

Dandelion Leaves: Two or three, average size, twice weekly. A seasonal food during spring and summer.

Fresh Grass: Small handful, three to four times weekly. A seasonal food, spring, summer and autumn. Sometimes my piggies go outside to eat fresh grass for themselves on warm sunny days. Never put guinea pigs out on wet grass, always make sure the grass is dry and never use grass that's been cut by a lawn mower. When spring has arrived and your grass has started to grow, just give your piggies a small amount of grass to begin with so their tummies adjust. More about saftey tips below.

Baby Tomato's: One baby tomato or small plum tomato, twice weekly. Remember to remove the poisonous tomato top ( green part ). If using a slice from a larger tomato, remove seeds.

Cucumber: Very little nutritional value, but has high water content and is loved by most guinea pigs. One slice, include the outer layer which is their favourite part. Given every other day. Cucumber is really appreciated by guinea pigs in hot weather, it acts as a liquid and is nice and cool. A little like us enjoying an ice lolly.

Parsley: A few sprigs , twice weekly. Very high in calcium so should be limited if your guinea pig is prone to developing bladder stones.

Apple: One small slice, include peel, give weekly, remove core and pips. Royal gala variety is a favourite. Many fruits are full of natural sugar and have fruit acid. To avoid your guinea pig getting a sore mouth, cut all fruit into small pieces and just give as an occasional treat because of the high sugar content.

Pear: One small slice, include peel, give weekly, remove core and pips.

Seedless Grapes: One or two, must be seedless, give weekly.

Satsumer Pieces: One or two segments, remove rind and pips, give weekly. You can give a little of any orange citrus fruit.

Corn on the Cob: A recent new food. I'm unable to find corn on the cob with outer leaves, but the leaves can be eaten by guinea pigs. Roughly a dozen tiny segments, twice weekly.

Green Beans: Two or three green beans, twice weekly.

I hope this advice helped you!

Apple.

Answer 9

Fruit should be given sparingly as an occasional treat, due to the high sugar content. See the following list for acceptable fruits with corresponding nutritional breakdown:

When feeding any fruit to guinea pigs, the seeds should always be removed. Some seeds in fruit are poisonous.
