What do people really feed their guinea pigs? It's different for everyone and depends on what is in season and what you think is good for your guinea pig, not to mention what your pig is willing to eat.
The Humane Society of the United States recommends up to one cup of vegetables each day, introduced gradually, one at a time. Fresh, organically grown greens are the best option. Fresh hay, baby carrots and carrot tops, cucumbers, bell peppers, broccoli spears, various herbs and other dark green veggies are great choices. These vegetables provide vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to your guinea pig's overall health. Makes a great gift!
