I went to a local pet store today and purchased (stupidly without researching) a vitamin c supplement for the water.
I have been told to put 5scoops if this stuff in the water but I only put three in. The water has turned green and I'm a little paranoid.
I know it's probably supposed to, but do any of you have any advice or experiences with this stuff? Thank you very much! X
It's not a long term option at all! It's just for a few weeks until I sort myself out.
(Very stressful time atm plus I swear I have a memory problem)
 
Is it Vetark pro-C, by any chance? If it is, it contains chlorophyl and will turn the water green (though the degree of colour does seem to vary by batch)
 
Please do not use this as any vitamin C is lost through evaporation and the vitamin makes the water taste different so the piggies are unlikely to drink it. If you want to give them vitamin C you can buy small animal vitamin C tablets from the hay experts. I crush one and put it on a slice of cucumber for each piggy.
