Answer
Hello Ciara!
Gosh, love your name!
I suggest giving him smaller portions (like organic baby carrots) or peices of celery, carrots and lettuce (or other long solid treats like that) and cutting them to one 3 inch piece per giunea pig. Give them a long list of variety with treats to. I will put a list of my 7 giunea pigs favorite treats below:
-celery
-carrots
-parsley
-selantro
-romaine lettuce
-half a grape
-duck weed
-apple slices (1 per giunea pig)
-banana slices (1 per giunea pig)
-ice cube in there EMPTY food dish (1 per giunea pig)
-Cucumber
-Kale
-Red or Green Bell Peppers, sliced (seeds are poisonous, avoid)
-Broccoli, 1 flouret
-Dandelion Leaves
