Eating well is living well. A big part of caring for your guinea pig is giving them a proper diet. As you get to know their personality and habits, you’ll learn which foods they like, what’s best for them to eat, and what should be avoided. But before we start snacking, let’s begin with the basics.
Guinea pigs can eat a variety of fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots, spinach, celery, and grapes. They should also have hay and fresh water available at all times.
The best food for guinea pigs is a combination of hay, fresh fruits and vegetables, and a quality pellet diet. Feeding hay should be a constant in the guinea pigs diet as it helps to keep their teeth in check and provide them with essential nutrients.
Feed your guinea pig on a consistent schedule—twice a day, morning and evening with a combination of hay, fresh vegetables and fruits, and a quality pellet diet. Fresh water must be constantly available, especially during warmer weather, as guinea pigs are susceptible to heat stroke.

What hay is best for a guinea pig, and what amount of veggies should I feed per guinea pig? Thanks!
I have bought the same type of hay from the same place and my guinea pig always devoired it. I have introduced them to grass and now they have almost totally stopped eating the hay. Their weight has remained the same. Is it okay to just eat the grass instead of hay? They always have hay available
Would you say this is good guinea pig food? I normally get grreat choice but I thought I'd try this.
Can i feed the hay to my guinea pigs that every farmers in my area feed to their cows(i dont know which hay it is). Can i feed that regularly.
I just got a guinea pig about a week ago and she hasn't been eating her food pellets, only her hay, she eats a lot of the hay actually and I refill her hay everyday but she barely touches anything else I try to give to her, including treats or veggies.
My guinea pig has very tiny and dry poop and she suddenly eats only few strands of hay but she is eating all her veggies
Can the hay for guinea pigs be completely substituted with grass(i.e only feeding fresh grass and no hay at all)?
Many pet stores tell me that I should feed guinea pigs pellets but is it really? I watch videos who have healthy lively guinea pigs who only live on a diet of timothy hay and a variety of vegetable. Right now my 3 month guinea pigs are eating Kaytee's fortified daily diet pellets timothy hay and mostly leaf vegetables and a few bell peppers and carrots. In my area the pellets are getting expensive so do I have to buy them? Or is there a vegetable diet that gives them all there nutrition needed?
Is there a brand of food that dont contain the pellets, I've noticed that my guinea pig doesn't like eating the pellets in her food...she eats everything but the pellets & we end up throwing the pellets out so we refill her dish...we give her hay as well but I'm worried that she might not be getting enough food...she's not losing weight so far.
Which vegetables can help in increasing guinea pigs weight.???
I just recently moved and my guinea pig will drink and eat her normal food but she won't eat the Timothy hay I've always bought her that she loves. I'm confused?
My guinea pig blue passed a large poop today & when he did he squeaked. They have been eating OXBOW Timothy hay for a year now but the quality in the hay has changed & they stopped eating it they picked out the fuzzy pieces so they haven't been getting the amount of hay they should be for around 1 month, someone said try OXBOW orchard & he's been eating it like a "pig", could not really having hay-having hay & eating lots DO THIS? he only passed 1 big poop & only squeaked then , now all normal
