5 Eating

---

Feed your guinea pig primarily green leafy vegetables.

Some vegetables can be provided few times a day, some few times a week. Read subcategories for more info.

It is recommended to remove uneaten vegetables to prevent spoiling/rotting.

Do not feed wilted or spoiled food.

Don't feed your guinea pig everyday the same vegetables - Variety is the key to maintaining guinea pigs health.

Be cautious about vegetables from the freezer - if food is too cold, guinea pigs can get diarrhea.

NOT recommended: iceberg (high in nitrates and low in nutrients, can cause diarrhea if given in excess).

NOT recommended: any vegetable in the cabbage family (it won't kill them, but could cause bloat if feeding continuously), or beet greens (too high in oxalates).
