Re: New member and her guinea pigs!

Welcome to the board. Your pigs sound cute.

I hope you'll never buy a pig from anywhere again, not just Petco. You've seen first-hand the lack of care that can be found in petstores.

Also, vitamin C drops in the water are not a good thing. The vitamin C breaks down very quickly, and it can change the taste of the water, which can cause them to drink less. Dehydrated guinea pigs fail very quickly. If you're feeding them veggies and good food (what brand?) then they probably don't need them. If you're concerned, you can give them liquid vitamin C via syringe or crushed up vitamin C tablets.

How big is your cage? I love my C&Cs.
