Re: Cavy Nutrition Charts Discussion Thread

Can someone tell me how to access the "Cavy Nutrition Chart" everyone is referring to?
Click the link in the first post of this thread to get to the thread where the charts are.

but I was very dismayed to hear her recommend putting Vitamin C drops in their water. I thought that was bad, isn't it?
It is bad to put drops in the water as light degrades the C too fast and it does no good.

Can someone also tell me HOW MUCH Vitamin C a 1-year old, male, unneutered guinea pig should get daily?
10-30 mg/kg. A 2lb pig is approximately 0.9kg. So if you make sure they are getting about 25-30mg of C per day through veggies, they will do fine. Bell pepper is a great source of daily vitamin C.
