Supplements Oxbow Vit C alternatives

[4boipigs]

In the USA at least, Oxbow has been out of stock due to supply issues all summer. We've found some alternatives since Oxbow is being restocked at a price of $15 USD!!!

Kaytee vitamin c - goes for $4 on Amazon and my pigs like it. This has become the new staple for us.
Sherwood vitamin c - piggies like it but more expensive at $20

Do not recommend -
Doc Eddie's vitamin c - we got these for free to product test. They're awful! They're like little gummy cubes and only one of four guinea pigs ate them.

Not tried -
Childlife vit c which LA Gpig Rescue uses/recommends

Are there any others we're missing?

This is what I've used for years.

Huh. I always thought those were no good because they had to be added to water. How do you give it to them?

A drop or two in a 1 ml syringe with water.

I just received Oxbow Vit C from Chewy. The website said it was out of stock, but it arrived with my order.

I also have Oasis Vitamin C drops on hand. However, I don’t add those to the water. Instead, I measure them out with a syringe.

According to the package, 8 drops are 25 mg. When I measured 8 drops it came to 0.35cc. So I draw 0.35cc into a syringe. Then I draw a tiny little amount of fruit juice like apple or watermelon so the flavor isn’t so intense. My piggies take this and think it’s a great treat. Millie doesn’t want to let go of the syringe.

Both Petsmarts I volunteer at (in the adoption room) have Oxbow vit c restocked and it is at the ‘old’ price of $9. It’s wasn’t listed on their site the last I checked.
