We are what we eat !
1 cup of mixed fruit/veggies per pig per day, in a clean bowl.
Guinea Pigs need mainly vegetables, they only need a small amount of fruit. An 80/20 split is ideal.
Access to unlimited hay and pellets at all times. Timothy Hay/Orchard Hay/Readigrass are excellent treats too.
Try growing your own herbs/vegetables/hays, it's a cheap alternative and very satisfying. Leave an area of your lawn to "do it's own thing" and you'll find lots of interesting things to give your piggies, all for free too.
