Do guinea pigs need vitamin drops?
Absolutely not. Multivitamins are dangerous as it is easy to give too much and have the pet overdose on fat soluble vitamins like A and D. Guinea pigs do need vitamin C on a daily basis but if you feed them correctly you will not need to supplement. Never put vitamin C in the drinking water as it is pointless, vitamin C breaks down in the presence of water and light. Guinea pig pellets contain a source of vitamin C. The best ones to give are Oxbow pellets, these contain a stabilized source of vitamin C. http://www.oxbowhay.com Guinea pigs also need at least a cup of leafy greens and other veggies every day. Leafy lettuces (not iceberg), cilantro, parsley, kale and other greens are a good choice. Bell peppers are an excellent choice as they have plenty of vitamin C. Before you get a guinea pig please do plenty of research. They’re fantastic pets but require tons of care and access to a specialized vet. Great diet and care info here: <
