Answer
Dear ?,

    Having guinea pigs in a cage is good. But make sure they get time for at least 45 minutes to run around. Or you could get some wirilnd and make closed are for your piggie to stay in at night and parts of the day.Just to warn you it does take a guinea pig to find a way out of the room but it will so a closed section of your room would be great, or only let her rome aroundn under your supervision. As far as carrots it isn't enough, I recommend that you go to a pet store and DEFINETLY purchase Timothy hay it is one of the best sources of vitamin c like us they can prouduce their own.And piggy pellets are a excellent choice.
