Vitamin C is found mainly in plant foods. Some of the fruits highest in vitamin C are citrus (orange, grapefruit, lime, lemon), strawberries, cantaloupe, kiwi, mango and guava. Vegetables high in vitamin C include broccoli, sweet potato, cabbage, bell pepper, kohlrabi, tomato and potato. However, if you're feeding her food specifically for Guinea pigs it should have enough Vitamin C to begin with.

Vitamin C is found in fruits and vegetables, including dark green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, melons and squash, berries, tomatoes, peppers and yams.

It's ok to go 2-3 days without. Keep offering the oranges. She may start eating better after she gets accustomed to her new home.
