Guinea Pig Care - Vitamin C
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 29 Mar 2013
It's important that guinea pigs have a daily source of Vitamin C. There's many methods for doing this. You can buy vitamin C tablets specifically for guinea pigs (e.g. Oxbow's GTN-50C), liquid vitamin C drops or buy human chewable vitamin C tablets.
This is how i take care of that need.Apart from fresh vegetables (about a cup a day) I also give them (30mg/1 tablet) A-Z Kid's vitamin c supplement (APPETON),there's more other brand that you can get at the pharmacy. it's okay as long as it was a pure vitamin C rather than a multivitamin formula.The amount of vitamin C required varies somewhat depending on the reference source used, but most guinea pigs probably need about 10-30 mg/day. Pregnant, nursing,young and ill guinea pigs need more.
