Romaine lettuce is okay for them but not Iceberg lettuce. Not too much lettuce though cos it's not really that good for them. You can give them tomato, peppers, celery, dark green cabbage, dandelion leaves, (wash well) Mine absolutely love grass if you can find any that hasn't been fouled by dogs or sprayed with anything.

Do you give them hay? Hay is an essential part of a guinea pigs diet and accounts for about 80% of their daily food intake so it's really important they have it.

Ours went mad for a bit of red and green pepper lol.

Hi there--

What i fed my guinea pigs was:
In the morning their pellets!

and then in the evening

A 1/4 of a pepper (bell) not red though as they contain high sugar levels daily no seeds per pig
tomatoes i took the seeds out per pig
Cos or Romaine lettuce (not iceburg) 2 leaves per pig (romaine and cos are fine but iceburg is too high in water and too low in nutritious value.) daily
Carrots about 1 baby carrot per pig is fine! daily
Strawberries1-2 per pig daily
Raspberries about 1 per piggie
Corriander about a bunch of leaves per pig daily
a bunch of parsely stems per pig one every 2 days
a quatre of an apple every 1-2 days
Celery but cut it up into small pieces as they are stringy about half a stalk per pig daily,

thats about it and yes their fresh hay 24/7

I feed mine a variety. The love kale and spring greens.

I mainly feed anything green and leafy. Fruits rarely as they are too high in natural sugars.

I wouldn't give them lettice as I've been told by my vet it's not good for them.

Mine likes grapes, carrots, tomatoes, apple, grass, dandelion leaves (obviously make sure the grass/dandelion haven't been treated with anything first) cucumber, and he also loves cabbage leaves! and the green tops from the carrots! but they're hard to find around here hmm.

When I as petting sitting some guinea pigs, they loved curly kale, broccoli, carrot and cucumber. =]

I was making a salad yesterday afternoon, and my pigs were in the run in the garden, they must have smelt the cucumber all the way in the kitchen cos they started squeeky like mad. Its a huge favourite of theirs, along with the inner leaves of celery, as they are quite sweet.

They like orange aswell. My old rex used to like guava (sp).

My boys do not touch peppers and celery.

Anyway, I always get some Cauliflower greens from work. They love it.

If you got a morrisons near you it is worth asking for them. Our store does give them away.
