Some calcium is needed in your guinea pig's diet, but calcium-rich foods, such as alfalfa, must be fed sparingly to avoid getting a surplus of calcium in your guinea pig's system. In my herd, alfalfa is an occasional treat; we rely on Timothy-based pellets, as well as Timothy and grass hay.owever, fruits, due to a higher sugar content, would not be a main staple in a guinea pig's diet, so the risk is lower than with vegetables. Fruits that are particularly low in calcium include peaches, blueberries, and bananas.
Grass Hay. Grass hay is an important part of a guinea pig's diet and should always be available. It is good to give a variety of grass hay, as each type of hay provides a slightly different texture and fiber content.1  Alfalfa Hay-Only give to pregnant, nursing, or young guinea pigs under 6 months of age.2  Alfalfa hay is too rich for adult guinea pigs, and in excess can lead to health problems.resh Fruits and Vegetables. Guinea pigs should eat about 1 cup of vegetables each day. Fruit should be given once or twice a week, and limited to 1-2 tablespoons per 2 pounds of body weight. Remember to rinse all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
