Re: Is this a good menu?

It's certainly not a bad diet, but if you have a stone pig you might want to run the diet by your veterinarian and follow any advice s/he might have to offer, especially if your vet is very experienced with guinea pigs, particularly with stone pigs.

This diet stresses the importance of a "balanced" Ca:P ratio, but I believe the ideology on the importance of a balanced ratio is changing and is not necessarily thought to be as important as lowering the calcium intake overall in stone pigs.
