Mainly carrots, cucumber ends and a little bit of lettuce, but not loads as that can cause diarrhoea, try feeding it dandelion leaves awell because they like them, and how about a bit of a bit of apple =] i've had loads of pets so i know what they like really

dont give lettuce of any sort as that causes diarrhoea and digestive probs in rabs and guineas..grass is good and the odd carrot,apples,cream crackers(mine love them),celery,oh and peppers de-seeded of course(guineas will love u forever if you give them chopped peppers .HONEST XX)

Vegetables like cucumber, ice-berg lettuce, celery and anything like grass that is wet have the potential to cause diarrhea. The key is variety and moderation. I have a link which shows the water content in percentage, you can try using low water content food if you want:

My girls diet consists of red, curly leaf lettuce, bell peppers/capsicum, carrot, apple (occasionally), baby spinach, grass, celery (occasionally), parsley and strawberries. Of course this is not what they get everday, I give them a mixture of those things.

Addition:

Not all lettuces cause diarrhea like another post stated. Only ice-berg does. You should be fine with green or red curly leaf lettuce or romaine lettuce. The same post also talked about cream crackers, guinea pigs are strict herbivores. No dairy, meat or seed products should be fed. Instead stick to fresh produce, pellets and hay.

skip the sugary fruits and veggies. stick to green leafy ones. feed him timothy hay and a bit of kibble. make sure his outdoor habitat is safe and free from poisons (try organic gardening).

I mainly feed mine Carrots, Bell Peppers, Banana's, and Apples(although if you give them apples make sure you peel them and take the seeds out, they can choke on the peel and the seeds are toxic if they eat to many.) I've also gave mine Parsly, and other things like that.
