Here's why:
* High in Vitamin C: Guinea pigs cannot produce their own Vitamin C, so bell peppers are a great source.
* Sweet and Crunchy: The sweetness and satisfying crunch make them appealing to many guinea pigs.
* Easy to Digest: Bell peppers are relatively easy for guinea pigs to digest.
However, it's important to offer a variety of vegetables to ensure a balanced diet and prevent picky eating.
Other popular vegetables for guinea pigs include:
* Spinach
* Kale
* Broccoli
* Carrots
* Cucumber
* Zucchini
* Parsley
Always introduce new vegetables gradually and monitor your guinea pig for any signs of digestive upset. Remember to wash all vegetables thoroughly before feeding them.
Bonus Tip: You can also try offering your guinea pig different colors of bell peppers (red, yellow, green) to see which they prefer.
