The best way for a cavy to get vitamin C is through veggies.
Parsley, Cilantro, Bell Peppers , Leaf Lettuce, Kale , Endive, Escarole , just to name a few , are good high vitamin C enriched veggies. They should get 2 cups daily.
Hay should be avialable 24/7 as it helps aid the digestive system and grind down front and back teeth.
Pellets should also be avialible. Fill the dish and replace when needed.
Fruit should be given in moderation because of the high sugar content.
2 males will not fight provided they have enough space. All guinea pigs however , will have dominance fights , but as long as no blood is drawn then never seperate them.
I have alot of websites that you may like to see, one care, feeding,grooming, and housing so please email me KayTee42388@aol.com .
