By adding some fresh orange juice to a guinea pig's water, does it still provide the needed vitamin c?

Question

????????????

Answer 1

Concentrated vit C would be better as orange juice would go stale very quickly in a feeder bottle and may up set the pigs digestion. Try feeding them lots of cauliflower & brocolli, this has 4 times more vit C than apples and will do them more good than orange juice. Also Orange juice is very acidic and may hurt your pig. I never feed any citrus to my pigs.

Answer 2

the orange juice will most likely spoil and make your guinea pig sick. The vitamin drops are the best way to go and the bottle will last for a very long time.
You can also give your guinea pig fresh pieces of oranges and carrot. A carrot a day is really good for a guinea pig.

Answer 3

Do not feed ur pig, cauliflower or broccoli. They are very gassy, and may put yer pig in the hospital. Your local pocket pet Vet should be able to give you a list. And as for the vitamin supplement. It is a good idea but getting it naturally from vegetables is better. Red and Green Peppers, Greens, Kale, Dandelion Leaves...to name a few, they love them and won't cause piggy upset. Also just an FYI a pigs diet should consist of 80-85% Timothy Hay. 10% Pellet food, and 10% fresh veggies. If your pig has never had veggies. Start really slow, in small amounts. Then slowly increase it over a few weeks. Good Luck, and please know not everyone on her has your animal in their best interest. Always get second opinions from a REAL professional, or you may hurt your "friend"

Answer 4

No, no , no. Please go to a pet shop and buy a special concentrated vitamin C supplement drops for your guinea pig's water. Orange juice is too acidy and will upset your gp's stomach. But, depending on your gp's taste buds, you can give him a little piece of orange to nibble on. Orange juice is for humans and not guinea pigs. Who knows what kind of preserves can hurt the little guy/girl gp.

Answer 5

I know that orange juice is bad for male rats (it can cause cancer). I probably wouldn't add it to a guinea pig's water. Can you just get some liqiud vitamin for the water?

Why not just buy it some vitamin C tablets? That's what our vet told us to do and our piggies love taking them. It's like their nightly treat.
