Question
Hi Holly,  We are somewhat confused about the vegies and fruit Guinea pigs can and can't eat.  The pet shop have advised us not to give them lettuce, rhubarb and beans.
Do you have a lists of fruit of vegies they can eat and those they definitely can't eat?

Answer
Hello,
Most guinea pigs love Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower Leaves, Curly Kale, Purple Sprouting Broccoli, Spring Greens, Carrots, a little bit of lettuce(but not too much,)Peppers, Apples, Grass, Clover, Chicory, Dandelion Leaves, Endive, Green Cabbage,Green Cucumber, Orange, Parsley, Pear, Tomatoes, Strawberries and Rose hip is especially rich in vitamin C.
