So I purchased two piggies from a local pet store (sorry but it was the only place I could find two female Abyssinians). When I purchased them the lady said they were 5-6 weeks, she also said not to give guinea pigs under 6 months many veggies/fruits because they are mostly water and can cause diarrhea which could possibly be fatal to a small piggy. I asked if I should then supplement with additional vitamin C and she said no, that at that age because I was feeding high quality alfalfa pellets (oxbow) with unlimited timothy hay that they should have sufficient vitamin C.
Has any one heard this or have had any problems giving your small piggies fruits and veggies? I don't want to give them scurvy or something because of bad advice!
