Junior Guinea Pig
please, the vets around me don't know anything about guinea pigs..... how do I give my piggies vitamin c? because I currently give them my vitamin c, orally
Vit C solution wrecks their water and makes it taste nasty. Not a good idea to add these to water.You can get a vitamin c solution to put in their water bottles but the rspca have advised me that as long as they have enough vit c high veggies supplements are not required
Well animal ones are 50mg so I am guessing it should not be higher. Which vegetables do they get?yea, so giving them fresh veggies should be constant.,...,. and @piggyfan, I don't know the milligram, but I do crush it and administer to them orally... the vet shops around don't sell supliments for smaller animals.
Just stop. No need to worry.Oh dear I've been putting vitamin c in their water, didn't realise it make it taste funny, what should I do now?
Guinea pigs cannot eat carrots daily as they are high in sugar and vitamin A.guinea pigs should have fresh vegetables everyday. They can also have leftovers from: salads,fruit salads or leftover from dinner. carrots is the only vegetable that they can eat everyday, and they dont have to be peeled.broccoli is also a favourite of my guinea pig , and they canhave this a few times a week the other vegetables are : corriander, peppers, raspberries leaves,courgette,green cabbage,celery,cucumber,corn on he cob, and tomatoes. fruit (only to be given 1-2 times a week) : banana pears apple grapes strawberries blueberries and kiwi.
foods to be avoided : seeds and nuts, chocolate, iceberg lettuce, rhubarb,tomatoe leaves, mushrooms,daisies,green beans,dairy products, bread, buttercups and daffodils, sultanas. hope this helped.

yh they can if you ask any pet store they will tell you that carrots are proberbly the highest in vitamin c. thanksGuinea pigs cannot eat carrots daily as they are high in sugar and vitamin c.
Sorry but carrots are not high in vitamin c as others vegetables and I would never listen to a pet shop.yh they can if you ask any pet store they will tell you that carrots are proberbly the highest in vitamin c. thanks
This just proves most pet shops are not pet savvy at all! I see a pet shop feeding piggies potatoes once! I reported them...poisonous. pet shops are just a money making mill and they have quotas to fill in selling animals.yh they can if you ask any pet store they will tell you that carrots are proberbly the highest in vitamin c. thanks

i agree. my local pet shop doesnt care what happens to any animal unless they are making money.This just proves most pet shops are not pet savvy at all!

If you want to give vitamin c then please by tablets and not add it to the water. I use these.Since I've had my guinea pigs I have given them the vitamin C water supplement. They seem to like it as their water goes down. I have read about guinea pigs have vitamin C deficiency, so that's why I bought it and they are not very keen on bell peppers (which are high in vitamin C) I wasn't sure what else to give them that has vitamin C in it.
I give my guinea pig vitamin C through water doesn't do him any harmWhat is it so bad that I shouldn't give them a water supplement, surely it's safe otherwise pets at home wouldn't sell it
