A cherry tomato is a rounded, small-fruited tomato thought to be an intermediate genetic admixture between wild currant-type tomatoes and domesticated garden tomatoes.
Cherry tomatoes range in size from a thumb tip up to the size of a golf ball and can range from being spherical to slightly oblong in shape.
Although usually red, other varieties such as yellow, green, and black also exist.
The more oblong ones often share characteristics with plum tomatoes and are known as grape tomatoes. The berry tomato is regarded as a botanical variety of the cultivated berry, Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme. (source)

Jerky is lean meat that has been trimmed of fat, cut into strips, and then dried to prevent spoilage. Normally, this drying includes the addition of salt, to prevent bacteria from developing on the meat before sufficient moisture has been removed. The word “jerky” is derived from the Quechua word ch’arkiwhich means “dried, salted meat”. All that is needed to produce basic “jerky” is a low-temperature drying method, and salt to inhibit bacterial growth.

A weed is a plant considered undesirable in a particular situation, “a plant in the wrong place”. Examples commonly are plants unwanted in human-controlled settings, such as farm fields, gardens, lawns, and parks. Taxonomically, the term “weed” has no botanical significance, because a plant that is a weed in one context is not a weed when growing in a situation where it is in fact wanted, and where one species of plant is a valuable crop plant, another species in the same genus might be a serious weed, such as a wild bramble growing among cultivated loganberries. Many plants that people widely regard as weeds also are intentionally grown in gardens and other cultivated settings, in which case they are sometimes called beneficial weeds. The term weed also is applied to any plant that grows or reproduces aggressively or is invasive outside its native habitat

They are often pickled in vinegar or sherry as a snack or cooked as an ingredient in many dishes. They can be steeped in boiling water to make ginger herb tea, to which honey is often added; sliced orange or lemon fruit may be added. Ginger can be made into candy, or ginger wine, which has been made commercially since 1740.

Boiled eggs are eggs (typically chicken eggs) cooked with their shells unbroken, usually by immersion in boiling water.
Hard-boiled eggs are cooked so that the egg white and egg yolk both solidify, while for a soft-boiled egg the yolk, and sometimes the white, remain at least partially liquid.
Hard-boiled eggs are commonly sliced, particularly for use in sandwiches.
For this purpose specialized egg slicers exist, to ease slicing and yield even slices.
Hard-boiled eggs should be used within two hours if kept at room temperature or can be used for a week if kept refrigerated and in the shell. (source)
If they nibble them they will be fine, but they shouldn’t be purposely fed as part of a regular diet.
They have no nutritional benefit for guinea pigs and eating a lot may make them sick.

Let’s take a look at their nutritional information and find out more.
In particular, their acidic, water, sugar, water, fat, salt, calcium, and phosphorus content is of most interest as far as guinea pigs are concerned.

As you can see daikon contains a hint of salt, a little phosphorus, sugar and calcium, quite a bit of acidic content.
This means that they can have a small amount of it. Two or three small pieces at a time will suffice for them. Its acidic content means they shouldn’t eat too much of it.
Because it is much milder than other radishes, it is better for them to eat than radish.
Don’t feed them the tap root though.
Make sure it is washed thoroughly before feeding to a guinea pig.
Also, don’t feed it to them cooked. They should only eat it raw which they will enjoy a whole lot more.
