How do I know if my guinea pigs get enough vitamin c? Right now, they are only on 2 meals a day due to how early I have to go to school, I don't have time to feed them in the morning. This is their meal:
About 3:00pm everyday they get 2 leaves of romaine each pig, and about 1 baby carrot each pig. I throw in some cucumbers, kale, or parsley every now and then, but parsley and kale don't usually go in there because I don't usually get it. Aldi's dosen't have parsley or kale.
then about 8:00-9:00 they get apples(mixed in every 2-3 days), peppers(almost every day considering the cost), cucumbers(if they didn't get them at lunch), spinach(3 times a week), and sometimes they get more romaine, it depends on how much I bought that week.
So it's like this everyday:
3:00- 2 leaves Romaine per pig, carrots
8:00- Peppers(Red, yellow, or green), Cucumbers, spinach(3 times a week), sometimes Romaine, occasionally apples.
Is this enough vitamin c? Should I buy parsley, kale, cilantro to add to their diet everyday? My mom is never excited about going more than 1 place a week for them(not a big fan of pigs) but I think I could convince her. Do I need to give my pigs vitamins? They also get unlimited pellets, hay, and fresh water. They all are perfectly healthy, but still I am worried. Please help!
