Here is a list of popular vegetables that we can feed our piggies, including their nutritional value and suggested serving size. What veggies does your guinea pig like to eat?

    When I used to have a guinea pig I would feed him a variety of these vegetables on a daily basis;- salad mix leaves, cos lettuce, cauliflower leaves, broccoli leaves, celery leaves, celery sticks, carrot sticks, capsicum, and cucumber. Occasionally I fed him apple as well, and his most favourite treat of all was rockmelon skins.

    This is an adorable video, as are all of yours! I love the salads you create for the piggies, and the cute and unique shapes for them! I am still laughing at Tiffany's babysitting trials and tribulations. I knew Peanut would rule the day. She is an alpha piggy, if there ever was one. Soooooooo cute! I felt bad for poor Dumpling. She always seems to come in last with everything. I love her so!

    @guineadad one of mine hates zucchini but loves yellow squash. Radicchio can be given every day. Just pricey. Endive is another one that can be given frequently. I give a cherry tomato a couple x a week due to sugar as well. Cilantro at times too.

    My sweet gurl rejects apples, red, green and yellow peppers, carrots, several types of lettuce and doesn't care for celery...SO I'm really glad she LOVES hay and her multi vitamin enriched grain food. My previous 2 pigs LOVED about all fruit and veggies but were home bred. My new gurl I got from a pet store...is that why?

    • @GuineaDad
      @GuineaDad  3 года назад

      More often than not, the new girl from the pet store was not intorduced to a variety of food that's why she did not know that apples, peppers, carrots and several types of lettuce is good for her. It takes a lot of getting used to I know but she will definitely come around. Just leave it in her cage and one day she'd finally try it. You can also cut it in small pieces and mix it with her favorite food or hay. 😉

    Hello, I have some questions, because can't to find the right way to feed my guiena pigs.
    The portion for 1 guinea pig should be 1 cup (till 100gr) a day, right? That cup of veggies should I give them all or a half in the morning and half in the afternoon? Or in the morning better to give them till 3 kind of veggies and in the afternoon 2-3 another different kind of veggies?
    What's right foe 1 guinea pig:
    - 1 cup of veggies in the morning (cucumber, lettuce, yellow pepper)
    - In the afternoon any snack
    - for dinner 2 spoons of a dry food (pellets)
    And the next day to give them another kind of veggies.
    Or
    - 50gr of veggies in the morning (lettuce, cucumber, yellow pepper)
    - 50gr of the same veggies in the afternoon
    - dry food for the dinner time
    Next day different veggies.
    Or
    - in the morning half of the cup (cucumber, lettuce, yellow pepper)
    - in the afternoon half of the cup (tomato, zucchini, carrot)
    - dinner time (dry food)
    Next day again different types of veggies
    I watch lot of different videos about this topic, but I can't to find a conclusion 😖
    Thank you for ur advise😌

      I always fed celery leaves to my guinea pig and it was never a problem. They will enjoy eating almost anything that's leafy. Try feeding your guinea pig cauliflower leaves too if you haven't yet done so.

    • @GuineaDad
      @GuineaDad  Год назад

      Guinea pigs generally aren't that great with change, so it'll take her some time to become accustomed to different foods from what she's used to for sure! It's great that your still trying, it's a good idea. Our girls didn't like a lot of veggies either, and now they do after continued attempts!
