Guinea pigs enjoy lots of different vegetables
For guinea pigs, some foods are fine but should only really be eaten in moderation. Fruit, for example, is quite sugary and acidic, and can result in painful little sores around the guinea pigs’ mouths if fed to them too often.
- Apples
- Bananas
- Kiwi Fruit
- Lettuce (contains a sedative)
- Melon
- Oranges
- Pears
- Raspberries
- Spinach (contains oxalic acid so a maximum of two leaves a week)
- Strawberries
- Tomatoes

Ice Berg lettuce has absolutely no nutritional content and that is why it is not recommended for animals.

This is such a big help to me because my new guinea pigs (Gizmo and Boomer) are a little spoiled but this will help them be more healthy, thank you very much for the help. Sincerely, Janieeeeeeeeee

I had guinea pigs when I was younger. We had a book that said it was ok to feed them tomatoes, but then one died after only 4 days. He was the male and "hogged" the food from the females which is why they affected him more. We later found out tomatoes were not safe for guinea pigs. I think you should take them off your 'in moderation' list as they shouldn't be fed them at all.
