Carrots are high in calcium so only feed occasionally, cucumbers are high in water so only feed occasionally. I feed my girls bell peppers/capsicum, red curly leaf lettuce, carrots occasionally, apple occasionally, cucumber occasionally, tomatoes, baby spinach and if I buy strawberries I give them the leaves and eat the strawberries myself!!

Guinea pigs can not make their own vitamin c (as you probably know), you can use the site below. It has a list of vegetables and how much you need of each vegetable to get 10mg of vitamin c. A guinea pig needs at least 10mg but more is better, you can not over dose on vitamin c as any unwanted vitamin c leaves through their urine:

apple, lettuce, pretty much anything green and veggi. Jut make sure your Pig has fresh water and some of that dry mix at all times.
