Fruit + Veg List

Here's a list of all of the Fruit and Veggies that guinea pigs can eat. Please contact me if I've missed anything! Toffee's favourites are spinach, carrots, and apple but it's always great to try new things with guinea pigs!

Name of Fruit / Veg	Amount to Feed	Notes
Apple	One side of a small apple	The seeds are poisonous and it is very acidic so could burn mouth.
Asparagus	One small stalk	Could cause bloating
Banana	A few small chunks	Could cause constipation
Beetroot (peeled, no stalk)	A few small chunks/slices	White piggies will go pink…
Bell Peppers (Red and Green)	A few small slices	Always remove the seeds. Toffee didn’t like this…
Brambles / Blackberries	A couple of berries per piggy	Don’t pick them unless you know what they’ve been grown with…
