Vitamin C tablets

I have a 4 month old female GP (Peanut) and recently adopted another female (7-8 month old called Fudge) that was being kept alone. They will be in a 2 x3 C&C cage with a 1 x2 loft. After the quarantine period is over next week, I am wondering about two things: Peanut loves her Oxbow Vitamin C pellet. Fudge has never been given Vit C pellets (she was getting a liquid vitamin that I know is worthless) but she accepted the Oxbow pellet. Any idea how to get Fudge to eat hers and keep Peanut from eating both tablets once they are in the same cage? Neither one will eat from my hand (at least not yet). The second question is about the food. I feed Oxbow Cavy Performance to Peanut. When I introduce them next week, can I just move them both to Cavy Cuisine? Fudge has been fed a Hartz Mountain brand pellet which I know is garbage. I thought I would just mix the Cavy Performance and Cavy Cuisine for a week or so, and then let them both eat Cuisine. I know that Fudge is past the 6 month mark and should not get the alfalfa based Performance pellet, and Peanut should be getting Cavy Performance for another 2 months. But I'm thinking that the Cavy Cuisine is fine for her at this point. Any advice on both questions is appreciated!
