Hello so I feed my Guinea pigs this vitamin c here image.webp
And she's not eating it. I dunno what else to do. Should I try the vitamin c drops?
 
Mine don’t like them at all! I think if you give some sliced pepper it’s high in vitamin c and the pellets should contain some as well?
 
Hi, you should not need to give vit c supplements . As it should all come from food if the piggy is on a good diet, unless a vet has told you they are deficient and need extra.
Do you give pellets, hay and vet every day? :)
 
Thanks for letting me know. It makes me feel much better knowing that they don't need the vitamin c pieces.
Also I have another question is it possible to feed a Guinea pig too much vitamin c?
 
I would assume it’s like a human where the body only absorbs the vit c needed and the rest is eliminated from the body. Hence why we need foods daily that contain vit c as it’s not possible to bulk store.
 
Great advice above, they should get all they need from a well balanced diet with veggies rich in vitamin C.
