What are good raw vegetables to feed a guinea pig?

Question

What vegetables should I definitely avoid? Also, can I give a guinea pig fruit?

Answer 1

We have raised Guinea pigs and I agree with the person who works with them. Not too many watery foods. When they get the runs it isn't good for them at all. They need the same rule of thumb as we do - moderation. We have always tried to give them fresh and dried treats to help their teeth stay in good working order. Enjoy them, they are so much fun and so sweet.

Answer 2

Grass, between a handful to several handfuls, more in the warmer months
Green pepper, 1/8 to 1/4 of whole pepper
Romaine lettuce, one or two large leaves, sometimes more
Tomato, wedge of large tomato or small Roma tomato
Carrot (baby), one small
Occasional vegetables:

--- Broccoli leaves (tiny) and peeled broccoli stem
--- Chinese Cabbage (pak-choi), one leaf
--- Corn silks and husks when in season
--- Parsley, one or more sprigs
--- Forages like chickweed, dandelions, and young clover

Fruit (a couple fruits per day from this list):

--- Apple, thin wedge, no seeds
--- Apricot, dried, a couple raisin-sized pieces
--- Banana, 1/4" round slice
--- Blueberries, several
--- Cantaloupe, 1"X 2"piece with washed rind
--- Grapes or Raisins (not both), one or two
--- Orange, one slice
--- Strawberries
--- Watermelon, 1" X 2" piece with washed rind

Answer 4

Don't feed your pig anything too watery, like lettuce or cabbage. It can cause diarrhea. Stick with apples, oranges, and carrots. Those are the best for your pig.
