Junior Guinea Pig
So, I know guinea pigs do not produce vitamin C on their own and need a balanced daily diet to get it.
In my country, I have observed several people giving vitamin C in syringes daily to guinea pigs. Is this right? I always thought that through a good diet they could get enough vitamin C. No problems so far...
I give mine at morning, most of times, purple lettuce, escarole, chayote, cucumber and green bell pepper (sometimes I vary it during the week -1/2x times- with coriander or parsley). Hay all day. At night, red/yellow/orange bell pepper plus corn husks, before sleep time, pellets.
With a diet like this, is it really necessary to take vitamin C in a syringe every day?
