Red or green bell peppers
Broccoli
Carrot
Kale
Romaine lettuce (not iceburg lettuce)
Celery
Fresh dandilion leaves (from garden)
Fresh grass (from garden)
Baby tomatoes
Parsely
Cucumber
Apples
Pears
Seedless grapes
Satsumer pieces
Corn on the cob
Banana
Green Beans
Strawberries
Baby Sweet corn
Melon
Cauliflower leaves
EDIT:: You can feed them CABBAGE, JUST NOT IN LARGE AMOUNTS. I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE KEPT GUINEAS ALL MY LIFE AND HEY LOVE CABBAGE.

Onions and cabbage are not safe for piggies! Instead of cabbage, try Romaine (NOT iceberg!!) lettuce. If you’re looking for the highest vitamin c count, try RED peppers instead of green. But, they’re both GREAT for piggies.
Have fun with your garden, it sounds like a real fun project, and your piggy will be VERY grateful!!

Onions (or anything that grows from a bulb) are not suitable for guinea pigs.
All guinea pigs love fresh grass, but be careful that there aren’t any weeds that could be dangerous e.g. buttercup and daisies.
Check the food list on the guinea lynx website for useful information about guinea pigs (health as well as food): http://www.guinealynx.info
I feed mine chicory, greens, tomato, baby sweet corn, carrot, parsley as well as hay and dry food and water. Romaine lettuce is OK but not iceberg. Broccoli can give them wind (gas), so avoid that too.
