yesterday I gave my guinea kids the yogurt treats to increase their vitamin C and this morning I found some runny poo next to their water bottle. I figured to just stop the yogurt treats since that was the only change in the diet. I would like to know if anyone else has had this happen to their kiddies? Also, do you have any ideas to make my poor little kids belly feel better?
 
Yogurt treats are junk food in piggie terms. If you want to ensure a good Vitamin C intake, make sure their fresh diet is varied with foods high in vitamin C (even one slice of pepper meets the requirements for a day), or supplement with plain Vit C.

Cutting out fresh fruit and veg for a day or two should resolve the diarrhea. Make sure both pigs are drinking plenty of water too. A probiotic may also help.
 
Make sure they have plenty of hay to munch on instead!
