Guinea pigs need a variety of fresh vegetables daily to stay healthy. Here are the best veggies you can feed them regularly:
Daily Veggies (Rich in Vitamin C & Safe to Eat Every Day)
✔ Bell Peppers (any color) – High in vitamin C
✔ Cilantro – Good for digestion, loved by most guinea pigs
✔ Romaine Lettuce – Hydrating and safe (avoid iceberg lettuce)
✔ Cucumber – Great for hydration but in moderation
✔ Zucchini – Low in calcium, safe for daily feeding
Veggies to Feed in Moderation (A Few Times a Week)
🔹 Carrots – High in sugar, best as an occasional treat
🔹 Spinach & Kale – High in calcium, too much can cause bladder stones
🔹 Broccoli – Good vitamin C source but can cause gas
🔹 Tomatoes (Cherry or Roma, no leaves or stems!) – Acidic, so feed sparingly
Avoid These Veggies 🚫
❌ Onions, Garlic, Potatoes – Toxic
❌ Avocado – Contains harmful fats
❌ Iceberg Lettuce – Low nutrients, may cause diarrhea
