If she's willing to eat romaine and green leaf lettuce, and she's willing to accept vitamin C supplements, she'll be fine. Give her three times as much green leaf compared to romaine (by weight before washing) and supplement 15-30mg of vitamin C every day. If you do this, and she eats lots of hay, she'll be totally fine. |
I'm totally in agreement with CF#5.
It doesn't really matter if the pellets already have C in them because over time and with exposure to light and air, the C degrades so who really knows how much C they are getting from the pellets. That's why the need to feed vegetables and a bit of fruit occasionally. Pellets are the least part of any guinea pigs diet.
