As a pet owner, you should know that your guinea pig cannot naturally produce vitamin C. Because of this, a deficiency in vitamin C from an inappropriate diet will cause your guinea pig to be listless and weak.
This is why proper food choices for your pet are important. By giving them the correct amount of fruits, vegetables, and pet food pellets, you can be confident that they will be healthy and well-nourished. High-quality guinea pig pellets can be given to them but make sure that it is consumed immediately as the vitamin c in the food decreases when the bag is opened.
If you are considering giving them vitamin C from pet stores, ask for your vet’s approval first so you can learn how to properly administer it to your pet. Some people also do not approve of this option because when vitamin C is diluted in water, they would not get the right amount of vitamins in a day.
