Vitamin C

21 14:20:03

Question
We have two young GPs, born 11/21/06. They eat Oxbow Cavy Cuisine pellets,"fortified with stabilized vitamin C"  and have some green leaf lettuce and one section of a orange every morning.  Along with unlimited timothy hay.

Are they getting enough Vitamin C?  

Answer
Hi Chole,

    It sounds as if you are doing an amazing job keeping up with the nutritious needs of your piggies.  Also, vitamin supplemental drops could be purchased from a local pet store to add daily to their food and water.

    Thank you for your question, I hope I have been of some help to you.  If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.  Good luck with your guinea pigs (=
