I would not recommend this as their main staple diet. I strongly encourage finding a commercial diet that can provide him all of him vitamins and nutrients that he needs. Also you can feed fresh fruits and veggies. Guinea pigs do not produce their own Vitamin C so consider feeding him some fresh fruits and veggies that are high in VitC like kiwi, red/yellow bell pepper, and oranges.
