What kinds of fruits and veggies do u feed ur guinea pigs2007-11-24 22:17:47

They also like to eat corn husks and silks, melon peels, their hay, and Oxbow pellets.

Please don't add the Vitamin C Supplements to their water, because they disflavor the water and some pigs don't like it. This causes dehydration.

my guinea pig loves watermelon, cantaloupe, grass, corn (her favorite), lettuce, oranges, apples, celery (especially the leaves), raisins, cucumbers...

haha, my girl eats just about anything - the only thing she hasn't like so far are peas, peaches and carrots.

Green leafy veggies are very important for their health! They should each get at LEAST a cup every day.

Yellow and Green Peppers are a great source of Vitamin C.

Red is, also, but should be given occasionally as it is higher in sugar.

That also goes for fruits ~ they're high in sugar and should not be given too often. Many guinea pigs are easily susceptibe to diabetes. Many people have said to give oranges. Sounds healthy, but please only on occasion if you must! Also, try to avoid fruits with pits.

Try to stay away from the "cabbage family" veggies, such as Cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts, and cauliflower ~ these cause a lot of gas.

Lettuces ~ NO iceberg!

Butterhead, Romaine, Green leaf, Red leaf, Curly Endive, Cilantro, and Swiss Chard are great!

Carrots should only be given (a baby carrot size) once a day ~ these actually don't really have much nutritional value for them.
