New Born Pup
I've been doing research because me and my partner are worried for our guinea pigs health. She's been having some excess calcium, but last night was extra. All powdery, nothing too big either. We are looking to change pellets because I heard Oxbow isn't the best and they have helped create stones before in other guinea pigs. So, I was looking up sherwood pellets, and at minimum you will get 1,000 mg/kg of Vitamin C.
Now the confusing part is we already will be giving them 25mg/kg with their Vit. C supplements from Oxbow.
I looked up how much they should be getting daily and it's only 10mg/kg - 30mg/kg. I'm confused now, and I'm unsure what to do because we already feed veggies with a medium amount of Vitamin C, and supplements, and if we switch to this it's going to be about 1,050mg/kg daily? Anything over 100mg/kg is considered too much, so what do I do exactly? Or is there something I am calculating wrongly?
