Thanks, I would like to add other things but I want to use these as the "backbone". As something he can always have. It makes it a little easier on me.

Would this be a good daily menu, 1 or 2 leaves of red leaf lettuce 1/8 to 1/4 of a green/yellow bell pepper A chunk of cilantro or other herb *main vegetables fed* Plus some cherry tomatoes, or carrots, or zucchini, or celery, or some other random safe fruit/vegetable we have around...

Thank you so much for all of the help. My mom will probably get vegetables on monday, so I'll need to figure out what to get.

Ok, are the drops bad because they dont give a sufficient amount of vitamin c? Are they ok to use as long as he is drinking the water? I would prefer to give the vit. C through fresh fruits and vegetables, which I will do and I will also look into the tablets.

Thank you. "variety" is probably the key thing I am missing. When I say supplementing I mean he gets pellets supplemented with vegetables.

He gets red leaf lettuce, bell pepper, and carrots or celery.

So I took my guinea pig, Bert, to the vet today for a runny eye. He. checked him out and looked at his teeth. He told me that it looks like an infection and gave me drops to put in it and it already looking a little better. He then said it was likely caused by a vit. C deficiency. I told him I...

Ok Ill wait. Thanks.

They get plenty of veggies and kleenmamas timothy hay. I was wondering if they would be ok without pellets because arent pellets almost like a "supplement"?

Well, my local petsmart usually has oxbow pellets for adult guinea pigs. Theyre out of stock, but some should be in this weekend. So my mom got some carefresh complete. Can you check out the ingredients for me? (broken link removed) I am out of pellets so this is all I have. Would it be ok to...

It's normal for there to be one who is dominant right? Because one seems a lot smaller than the other which is normal?

I have two male guinea pigs in a 2X4 cage. What would be normal behavior? I'm also a little worried about there weights. They are: 2lbs 2 1/2 oz 2lbs 1/4 oz Please tell me what there no behavior is. If I left anything out just ask me. Thank you. They don't fight with each other.

I recently changed from kaytee timothy hay to oxbow timothy hay. I was surprised that until then I hadn't noticed that they just pulled the kaytee out of the hay feeder and left it on the ground, but with oxbow they don't really waste any. Oxbow is not as stalky as kaytee either. I prefer Oxbow.

Thanks that clears things up some.

Thanks, but why red or green leaf lettuce.
