You shouldn't need to supplement with the vitamin C drops. As long as they're eating at least a quarter of a bell pepper (per pig) a day, and also eating C-fortified pellets, they're getting plenty of vitamin C.

Print off this diet/nutrition guide to use on a daily basis: http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/...arts-info.html. It's a great source for how much of what veggies and fruits to feed, and how often. I use it (along with a calendar to mark what I've fed on what days). I'd be so lost without it. Our healthy pigs are a wonderful testimony to how good it is.
