Can my guinea pig eat spinach every day? Is it healthy for their diet?

Question

I feed my guinea pig spinach everyday and he loves it and doesn't eat any other food without it , but a forum says it's not good to be fed everyday , but I feed him everyday , so what should I do? He's been eating it everyday for the past 1- 2 months , should I continued this or change his diet? Help please. Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Male | unneutered

It's OK for him to eat spinach everyday, but it should not be a major component of his diet, because it is too concentrated. The major component of his diet should be a high fiber pellet and high quality hay. Fruits and vegetables are also good to give on a daily basis, but they should not be the majority of the food he is eating. It's best to have variety, but if he has a few leaves of spinach each day, then I see no problem with that. I hope that helps and all is well with Mellow.
