ginnie pig diet

Question
I recently  adopted two female ginnie pigs. I know that they enjoy fruit and vegetables but which are ok? My son would like to give them lettuce; But if i remember correctly when we had a hamster that lettuce wasn't to good for them. We don't want to harm are new friends, and would appreciate your advice.
           Thank you

Answer
Peelets and Timothy hay need to be given in an unlimited supply. Good foods are romaine lettuce, parsley, cucumber, carrots, cabbage, green bell pepper, cilantro, turnip greens, collard greens, broccoli, and a whole lot more. Broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage can cause gas so should be sparingly. Fruits are good also like strawberries, blueberries, oranges, seedless grapes, watermelon, apples, and much more. Fruits should only be given once or twice a week because they can cause diabetes. SEEDS CAN BE TOXIC AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED. Iceberg lettuce is not healthy for a piggy because it has zero nutritional value. When choosing foods, lean towards greens and veggies with high vitamin C. Good luck, and remember, they will tell you which ones they like or not:)
