Question
I have heard that guinea pigs should eat some fresh fruits and veggies.  I gave mine a grape tomato but she didn't seem to like it.  Now she seems listless.  Is she just taking a nap?  I hope that tomatoes aren't harmful for guineas.  Do you know anything about which fruits and veggies are recommended and safe for guinea pigs?

Thanks,
lisa

Answer
Hi Lisa,
G P's are vegetarians.
They only eat fruit and veges and you can get some grains from a supermarket or petstore.
they usually like carrots, cron, lettuce and grass.
Some websites you can visit for more information are:
