I was wondering what veggies people's guinea pigs like to eat? Mine are getting very choosey...

Mine love everything, spring cabbage, spinach, carrot, tomato, cucumber, curly kale, mixed salad leaves (not iceberg lettuce) hay and of course fresh grass in spring :)

All sorts of lettuce leaves (other than iceberg). Coriander and dill are huge favourites. Red, green or yellow pepper (good for vitamin C) are always popular. Fresh grass and other forages - dandelions, plantain leaves, lemon balm, strawberry leaves. Swiss chard always disappears quickly.

Kale, cucumber, carrots, cabbage, beetroot (only the bulb not the leaves) are amongst mine's fave's though I could give you a list a mile long of what they can have

unfortunately the beetroot wasn't a hit, they licked it abit then ran back to the cage door and started sweaking again! :( They won't eat peppers...

Ours LOVE curly kale, but like others have said, if you can get hold of dandelion leaves in the spring/summer, they love those and they don't cost a penny!
