your guinea pig may not be used to eating so much fresh veg and greens. Keep offering her fresh grass, lettuce, a little piece of cucumber or apple. Do not put large amounts in the cage. Make sure you feed proper guinea pig food and offer the fresh food as a treat. This will make it more desirable and eventually she will eat more.
