Provide essential Vitamin C to support your small pet's overall health with Oxbow Natural Science Vitamin C Small Animal Supplement. Like humans, Guinea Pigs cannot produce Vitamin C on their own and rely on their diet for this essential vitamin. Without it, Guinea Pigs can develop a condition that in humans is known as scurvy. This condition can cause lethargy, weight loss, poor tooth development and nasal discharge. Oxbow Natural Science Vitamin C Small Animal Supplement is a hay-based, high-fiber supplement containing the essential stabilized Vitamin C Guinea Pigs need to stay healthy. Other small pets can benefit from this supplement during times of stress, illness or recovery. Along with Vitamin C, it contains timothy grass, barley flour and oat grout flour for fiber and flax seed meal for protein. Feed rabbits, Guinea Pigs and chinchillas 1 tab a day and rats ¼ tab a day.
Key Benefits- Provides essential Vitamin C and prevents scurvy in Guinea Pigs. This supplement will help strengthen your pet's immune system.

Peace of mind
By KerriT on Oct 6, 2020
I wanted to get a supplement for my guinea pigs to ensure they were getting their daily requirement of vitamin C. I kept worrying that I wasn't supplying enough with veggies. With no way to make certain I was giving enough I bought these, now I know they are getting enough in their diet to be healthy.

By Leigh36 on Sep 24, 2020
I love these! I can rest easy at night knowing that my guinea pigs are getting all the vitamin C they could ever need! I take this bag out and crinkle it a little and my 3 girls know it’s their treat time! 10/10

Excellent and loved by many piggies
By kittykatkatie on Aug 15, 2020
All of my foster pigs love these! Vitamin C deficiency is a constant problem for guinea pigs that come into the shelter and where I foster, so I love that they all seem to be fans of these and they're good for them!

Picky pig loves these
By 1234 on Aug 12, 2020
My guinea pig is very picky about which vegetables he will eat so I have to be very careful he’s getting all the vitamins he needs. He loves his “cookies” and gets very excited when he hears the bag.

rabbit did not like them at all!
By gizmo on Jun 15, 2020
my rabbits name is gizmo and I get the barley oxbow treats normally, and he loves those. But for some reason he did not want to even try these? He smelled them and would go away from it. I know these are most likely healthy, that’s why I got them, but my bunny wasn’t interested at all. I would give them to my hamsters but it has hay in it. :( (While taking photo my dog ate one of the treats, so I think she likes it, not my bunny though) c:

must Have in Your Guinea Pig Pantry
By SAnn on Jul 8, 2020
We started giving these to the pigs although they get veggies daily just to ensure their Vitamin C requirement is covered. The first time I gave it to them, they smelled it, and left it alone. However, the next day, the wafers were gone. I tried again and the same thing happened. After a week, they now would actually come to get one like it’s a treat!

Staple for sure
By TiTi on Jul 6, 2020
I own three guinea pigs, one of them gets sick often so I like to have this ready for when he needs an extra boost. They all get one tablet per day, I give it to them in the morning and it’s the thing they look forward to getting every morning. I recommend this to anyone with guinea pigs since they can’t make their own vitamin c and this is like a treat for them.
