Best for: Extra vitamin C for guinea pigs

Guinea pigs can't make vitamin C, and shortages cause scurvy. These timothy-based tablets are an easy daily top-up alongside fresh veg and fortified pellets.

Our in-depth look

Who it's for

Guinea pigs that need extra vitamin C, especially picky eaters or older pigs.

Who should skip it

Guinea pigs already on a well-balanced diet may not need extra — ask your vet.

Tips

Give it as a daily treat. Vitamin C in water bottles breaks down quickly, so tablets are more reliable.

Questions owners ask

How many tablets a day?

Follow the label; it's usually one tablet a day for guinea pigs.

Can rabbits have it?

Rabbits make their own vitamin C, so they rarely need it.
