Hi does anyone know how much pepper I should feed my guinea pig per day as it contains Vitamin C and I use that as my guinea pigs vitamin C supplement for the day
 
I have 3 pigs and will slice up about a quarter to a third of a pepper for them.
They don’t get pepper every day as I try to give them a variety of veggies.
Mine love red pepper but aren’t fussed about other colours.
Hope that helps
 
Mine love the green peppers best and fight over it even though I make sure there is a piece each (5 pieces) silly piggies!
 
my piggies love the red pepper; the green one is not appreciated and on the yellow one they poo and wee and close the argument.
The amount of vit C in a RED bell pepper SHOULD be 190mg/100g; but this amount is only a supposition not to rely on, because vit C is easily destroyed in the air, the light and the storage into the fridge. A piggie needs 20-40mg vit C a day (maybe even less than 20mg), hence a little slice should be enough...
 
I normally feed green capsicum as it's cheapest but red capsicum is coco's fav but I only try to feed it occasionally as she likes to slop it everywhere and I end up with a black and orange guinea pig instead of a black and white guinea pig lol.
