Answer
Hi Jessica

Congratulations on acquirng piggies. I am sure you will love them.

Guinea pigs eat more or less all fruit and veg. However, their favourites seem to be carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, cucumber, apple, grape, orange, cabbage. The key is to give each one in moderation. With the watery veg like lettuce and cucumber, you need to give small amounts as too much can cause an upset tummy.

Take a look at the website below which has great sections on owning a piggy for the first time.
