I would not suggest bananas, but if you want to give them to them give them in small porportions and only about once a week. This is what can happen if they do eat to much banana. https://guineapigcages.com/threads/6756/

Avocado (too high in fat)
- Coconut (too high in fat)
- Dry beans and peas
- Flowers (commercially grown decorative plants contain preservatives &
pesticides)
- Fried, cooked and otherwise prepared foods
- Fruit juices (sugar-free, or unsweetened juices are OK)
- Garlic or pungent onions (will not poison pigs, )
- Horseradish (leaves probably ok, root too pungent)
- Hot herbs and spices
- Hot Peppers / Chiles / Paprikas
- Iceburg Lettuce (low nutrition, high water)
- Jams, jellies and fruit preserves (too high in sugar)
- Milk and milk products
- Mushrooms
- Nuts (too high in fat)
- Peanut butter, cakes, cookies, baked goods
- Pickled veggies (dills, capers, sour krauts)
- Potatoes (poisonous if green or sprouted) - sweet potatoes / yams are ok
- Rhubarb (poisonous)
- Seeds (choking hazard)
- Taro (dangerous if eaten raw / unprepared)
- Teas, coffee, colas

- Wild grasses, plants and herbs that you are unsure of, or that look different
from ones you know

No prob. If you look on my website I have a whole list of food you can feed and stuff like that. It was also made by Trillian and gave credit. Here is the link.

Pigs can have some types of onions. They can have chives, green onion tops (in great moderation), and sweet onions (in great moderation). Onions aren't really toxic to pigs but regular or the spicier onions should not be fed.
