How Much? How much veggies should I give Piper

[GPnooby]

Piper is about 8-10 weeks old.
I mainly know the amounts on adult guinea pigs, but not babies.
After getting her, and doing some shopping for supplies ( food, toys etc...) I didn't have much left over, so I just grabbed a few main veggies.
I have romaine lettuce, tomato, cucumber, carrots (shredded), and green bell pepper. I do plan on picking up parsley and spinach leaves possibly Friday.
Oh, I also have a couple strawberries left over from middle of last week (still fresh!)

Would there be any veggies that would be ideal for her to have right now?

I would like some idea's on portions to feed her for now. I don't want to overfeed or underfeed if I can absolutely help it.

Thank you

1 cup per day, regardless of age. Most split it in to 1/2 evening and 1/2 morning. Lettuce and pepper are the staple veggies, the others can be changed round as per the veg chart. Don't give cucumber too often as it's very watery and gassy.

If you're feeding alfalfa hay or pellets, you don't need to feed extra calcium veg like spinach and parlsey.

OK, I wasn't sure if it was the same. Thank you!

Would once or twice a week with the cucumber be ok, or less than that?

The hay and pellets are timothy

Ah, then she does need a supplement in the form of parsley then.
