Popcorns & Wheeks
Teenage Guinea Pig
Hi all, for the last 2 years I have been feeding my piggies oxbow vitamin c biscuits everyday. They were recommended to me by my vet a long time ago now and I always thought that they would do more good than harm but after reading various posts on here I am now extremely worried.
They are all used to getting half a biscuit each per day and now after reading the potential effects of too much vitamin c and the consequences if vitamin c in their system drops I am very concerned.
I just wanted to ask for some advice on whether I should stop giving them oxbow biscuits and if yes, how to do it without risking their health? I really do not want to be responsible for my piggies getting scurvy or ill in any way. I have had so much tragedy regarding my piggies and really cant cope with anymore issues. The only reason I began feeding these is because I thought it would improve their health, I really am so angry at myself. Thanks all.
