Kind of random but I was wondering about other guinea pig diets. I feed one cup veggies per pig every day and they always have hay and water but I would love to hear other piggies diets. What type of veggies do you guys feed your guinea pigs and what are there diets in general?

Besides unlimited timothy hay and filtered water, I give each pig:
~ 1/8 cup Oxbow pellets, once in the morning and once at bedtime
~ 1 baby carrot
~ 1/4 of a green pepper
~ 1 grape tomato
~ 2 large leaves of red or green leaf lettuce
~ a 1/2" slice of cucumber
Three times a week they get a "special" veggie. Something new or something I don't get often (they LOVE fresh dill)
Twice a week they get a bit of fruit. Usually whatever my niece is eating that day ;)

I wrote a list of all the foods they can eat and slowly made my way through it over the past few years :)
