We feed ours small slices of apple,fresh cilantro or basil (we usually grow), fresh young dandelion greens(be sure they haven't been sprayed), green pepper,carrots, a small slice of any fruit like plum,peach,nectarine, grapes. We do not feed any of the cabbage family greens(he doesn't like them-yours may. Kale is very high in vitamins)we feed fruit only in small amounts because it gives him diarrhea. Our other piggies loved oranges. We don't feed the pellets that have all kinds of goodies in them - too fattening. We get plain Timothy hay ones. We also feed ours organic flax flakes(cereal) for fiber, just a few flakes once a week. Oh, guinea pigs aren't supposed to live that long, but we must be doing something right as our last one lived 7 yrs.

In addition to the hay and pellets, a variety of fresh vegetables (especially leafy greens) and some fruits should be offered daily. Leafy greens should make up the bulk of the vegetable supplementation, and fruits and other vegetable can be offered in small quantities. Avoid iceberg (head lettuce) as it has very little nutritional value. Good choices include kale, spinach, turnip greens, parsley, romaine lettuce, and dandelion greens. Avoid or limit cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, collards, bok choy and other cruciferous vegetables as they can lead to gas production in the digestive tract. Also avoid starchy vegetables like potatoes. Carrots, carrot tops, green and red bell peppers, apple, apricots, bananas, blueberries, cantaloupe, grapes, oranges, strawberries, and tomatoes can also be fed. If you have a guaranteed pesticide-free source, grass, dandelions, clover, and chickweed can also be offered, especially new growth which is tender and the most nutritious.
Any greens, vegetables or fruits should be introduced gradually or a digestive upset may result.

carrots are good too. especially anything with vitamin C... You can also get treats from the pet stores that are made of things like yogurt and nuts, grains and they enjoy that too.. a good resource for info is the exotic pets section on about.com
