How Often Should Guinea Pigs Eat Fresh Fruits And Vegetables?
I just bought a guinea pig yesterday, and this is my first time having one, so I was wondering how often should they eat fresh fruits and vegies with vitamin C in it?

They should eat about a cup of fresh veg everyday, and fruit 2-3 times a week as it has too much sugar in. Fruit and veg is not a treat it is essential to their health.

They need around 2 cups of fruits and veggies per day. Look at the link, it’s a life saver when it comes to veggies, etc.,http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/diet…

It’s different for different foods.http://www.guineapigcages.com/food/Veggi…
There’s a chart with how often you can feed things to your guinea pigs.
I try to feed them different things every day but sometimes I can’t.. So yeah. Just make sure they have pellets and hay all the time. :]

A really good, cheap (if you have a yard) source of vitamin C is in dandelion leaves; it has far more than oranges and many others you might normally think are high in C. I give my guinea pig a big handful of grass with some dandelion leaves almost every day, and veggies/fruit several times a week. I have to think that is more natural for their gut than pellets all the time. Just don’t let them get fat, they get lazy and that’s not good for them. There’s a really good book on guinea pigs out there, can’t remember the name, but it is in a series that covers all small animals and you can usually find them in pet stores. After 16 yrs with guinea pigs, I still refer to my book!

about twice a week but three times can’t harm them

2-3 times a week is best. DO NOT feed ice-berg lettuce, this contians pretty much just water and can cause intenstinal problems, carrots, leafy greens like kale, and bits of apple are all good treats. If you guinea pig becomes picky and will only eat the fruits and veggies, stop feeding them and only offer his pellet food.
Make sure you search the web too to find the right care needed for guinea pigs

I give my guinea pigs some fresh kale, greens or carrots every day – I think its fine as long as you don’t feed them too much. Also i know you’re not meant to give them spinach for some reason.
