lots of veggies, because they need lots of vitamin c. They also enjoy boxes to hide in and tunnels to run through. they should have lots of hay and fresh water available, and should be fed guinea pig pellets.
If you only have one you should consider getting a companion-they are sociable animals and do get bored if they are kept alone.

Your guinea pig needs a friend! They are herd animals and do best when kept with another of their kind. Make sure that if you get your piggie a friend, that it is the same sex or you'll have a lot of little piggies. Pet stores are really bad about mis-sexing the pigs, so pay attention to that.
If you cannot get your piggie a friend, then use your imagination to create a playful habitat for it. A paper bag with a little hay in it makes for hours of amusement. Try toilet paper rolls stuffed with hay or shoe boxes with several holes cut in it so the piggie can run in & out. Also fun is one of those $5 plastic kiddie pools at WalMart. Put some towels in the bottom with the things I mentioned above, and piggie will be zooming and popcorning about in no time!
Make sure your piggie has an adequate cage size. Go to www.cavycages.com for some great & inexpensive ideas.
Good luck!

Most rabbits, guiney pigs, gerbals, hampsters...like dust baths. You can buy a little house thing and buy certain dust to put in it. They love to roll around in it.
