You probably stuff your guinea pigs in small petstore cages, give them no veggies and out them on pine. What? you don’t get it? STOP POSTING VIDEOS.
@veggiemann uh no because fruits have a lot of sugar that can make your guinea pig fat. also, there are a lot of vegetables that have more vitamin c in them than oragnes supprisingly
im getting a 3 month old guinea it has a brown spot on one eye and a bage spot on the other and a brown and black spot on its tail
cant u just give them oranges?
my baby guinea pigs got brought up with Pro C they dont mind it in the water, but saying that they were brought up with it
sht just feed them carrots lettuce(not iceberg lettuce) some bell peppers oranges apples. in stead of this nasty sht
not to mention vit. c supplements in their water will make their water taste bad! which is why they don’t drink the water. It’s like forcing a human to drink only gatorade whenever they are thirsty.
This video is extremely misleading. Obviously these people aren’t cavy savvy. DO NOT USE VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS. They’re just JUNK and sugary. VITAMIN C SHOULD BE SUPPLEMENTED FOR CAVIES THROUGH GREEN BELL PEPPERS DAILY and other vegetables daily. and do not think that oranges will supplement their Vit. C either. Oranges are acidic and sugary, containing very little C. Green bell peppers contain the full supplement they need.
what about veggies with vitamin c
your not supposed to put vitamin C supplements in their water! Guinea pigs drink different amounts of water, its immpossible to know how much their are getting. Vitamin C supplements are NOT good!
The reason why guinea pigs don’t drink water having vitamins, is that they smell a lot.
When they sense, that it’s not water, they don’t drink it.
I had to change the bottle, so it wouldn’t smell.
It’s good to give them vitamins, but not putting them in the water.
u can get htem at petco or petsmart!!
were do i get the pills?
Think your a little to caring there mate…
DO NOT PUT DROPS IN YOUR GUINEA PIGS WATER! my guinea pig stoped drinking his water so we just feed him lots of fresh veggies. I LOVE GUINEA PIGS!!!!!!!!!!

what is this site?
Mhm. From an EXTREMELY trusted GP site, one that’s well known among cavy owners:
*Do not add vitamin C to the water. *
-Water is vital to good health but because vitamin C changes the flavor, they may drink less.
-Ascorbic acid degrades rapidly once added to water.
-Some cavies drink a lot and some very little, so it is impossible to know how much vitamin C your pet is getting.
Vitamin C drops in your piggie’s water, is fine. I’ve owned 8 guinea pigs, and they’ve all lived very long lives. Vitamin C drops are fine, they do no harm, just sometimes a piggie may b=not like the taste but all the ones I’ve had so far have been fine with it.
can u give a piggie to much vitamin C ????
i find friut and vegitables are the easyest way to get Vitamin c into my piggie
cuz they normally take one nibble out of the tablets and tehn just leave it and not eat it
so i gave up with that idea and stuck to fruit and veggies i know have lots of C in them
just give em vegetables and fruit for vitamin C, it is easier and they will like it more
I totally agree with you, but it’s guinea pigz choice not humanz… so yea… heh, anyway I thought the same ;] now Byez.
I just use a red bell pepper for vitamin c.
actually vitamin C in the water is NOT a good idea. The guinea pig could not like the taste of the extra vitamins, so u stop giving the supplement in the water, the guinea pig will most likely not go back to drinking even the clean water because they associate the water bottle with the taste they didnt like. i wouldnt imagine that this ‘expert’ didnt kno that.i mean im only 13 and i have a guinea pig, but am i an expert? No but thats true about the water…(wat i said not her)
