Here is a link to a guinea pig vegetable chart, remember it is ideal for a guinea pig to have roughly 1 cup of vegetables per day https://www.guineapigcages.com/foru...vy-Nutrition-Charts-amp-Poisonous-Plants-List

She probably has slept, guinea pigs are usually light sleepers and sleep with their eyes open.

You win their hearts with time, patience, persistence, and most importantly food. Guinea pigs usually warm up to you once they start associating you with food. You can try hand feeding her vegetables, or if she is willing to eat while out of her cage you can even give her vegetables while you have her sitting on your lap (just make sure to have something absorbent on your lap, as she may decide she needs to urinate).

I give my piggies some red and green leaf lettuce,mini bell peppers,and 1 carrot each. Since I have 1 adult pig and 1 younger pig, I get adult pellets and feed my younger one some Parsley.

I feed my pigs pieces of (green) bell peppers every day. Romaine lettuce, cucumbers, & cilantro are among some of the other vegetables I give them as well. Always do your research if you are unsure if a certain vegetable is safe for a guinea pig to eat. Make sure to not overfeed them either.

Guinea pigs usually have their eyes open while they sleep, which makes it look like they're awake when they're actually not. Guinea pigs do sleep with their eyes closed but they just don't do it often.

A guinea pig can be nervous during their first few days home. Try not to startle or scare her so she can feel more at ease, maybe even leave the room if she refuses to come out while somebody is there. Provide her with a tunnel or two so she can hide. It might take days or weeks before your guinea pig starts trusting you. But remember that if you're patient and gentle with her, you'll be able to form a close bond with your guinea pig.
