Which is better vegetables or fruit for a guinea pig?

Both vegetables and fruits are important parts of a guinea pig's diet, but they should be fed in different quantities. Vegetables should make up the majority of a guinea pig's diet, while fruits should only be given as occasional treats.

Vegetables provide essential nutrients such as vitamin C, calcium, and fiber. Fruits are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, but they also contain higher levels of sugar and carbohydrates than vegetables. This can lead to weight gain and other health problems if fruits are fed in large quantities.
