Don’t waste your money
By Youngcavymomma on Apr 27, 2021
If your looking for a vitamin C supplement then this is not the way to go, doesn’t tell you how much mg of vitamin c or if getting any from this . I only use these as treats once a day but don’t count it as vitamin c . Use the childLife liquid Vitamin C. Safe for you and your guinea pig, I coat my veggies in it or bell peppers have a lot of vitamin C.

Pretty Good
By PiggyPerson2020 on May 5, 2021
I just got these a little bit ago but my piggy adores them. They are good for grinding down teeth as well as a good vitamin c supplement. I started him of with half of one a day and we will slowly increase up to one a day. In general I love oxbows products and trust them completely.

Guinea pigs love them
By Anna on Apr 11, 2021
Since guinea pigs cannot make vitamin c in their bodies, vitamin c is essential for their health. They love these "cookies" and get so excited every night when we cuddle. The only thing I would recommend is dipping them in some water so they're not so hard. Sometimes they'll stop eating them halfway through, but as soon as I dip them in water, they go right back to eating them! These "cookies" are definitely essential!

Not good anymore!
By AlleyCat on Mar 22, 2021
My guinea pig used to love these and would run toward me as soon as I opened the bag. Recently, when I opened a new bag, I noticed that the vitamin looked different. Now my guinea pig will not eat the vitamin anymore. I have given her several over the past week and they just lay on the bottom of her cage untouched. I see where others are saying the same thing. Oxbow needs to go back to the previous formula. Otherwise, I will not be buying this product anymore. I am very disappointed! This went from a special treat for my guinea pig to a total waist of money!

Essential for guinea pigs!
By RoynDale on Mar 17, 2021
Guinea pigs can't make their own Vitamin C and supplementing their diet with these tablets is essential for that important source. Mine each receive one daily with their morning pellets and love them. The crunchy texture's also great for helping to keep their teeth from overgrowing. My boys are almost a year old now and have been getting these since they were babies. Chewy's product-availability and prices can't be beat - it's been my go-to place for just about everything critter-related for years. Big thank you to Chewy's wonderful staff.

We love these Treats!
By Redrosebud on Mar 9, 2021
My guinea pigs go crazy for these treats! I love watching them popcorning around at the sound of the bag opening. One of my guinea pigs had severe calcium deficiency, I gave him a treat once a day, and a month later he was running around and playing like his brothers. Stuart is 8 days away from being 2 months old and he is still doing fantastically! I always have these treats on hand and they are a lot more expensive in pet stores so I’m very thankful I can purchase them online at a better price.

Oxbow Please bring back an old formula!!
By Andrew on Mar 30, 2021
My guinea pigs used to adore Oxbow Vitamin C supplements now they refuse to touch them. I have no idea why such a slight change in ingredients have caused such a huge difference but seeing all other reviewers bringing it up I’m assured these not just my piggies. Oxbow please please please do something about it. We were always buying only your supplements so I have no idea what to do now.

Once they warm up they love them
By PiggyMom on Apr 14, 2021
Took our picky piggies awhile to get used to them, at first it was hit or miss if they’d eat them that day. But now the love them! They get all excited and demanding in the morning wanting their vitamins! Great hit with our guinea pigs!

Piggies will not eat new recipe
By ConstellationCavy on Mar 5, 2021
Despite the fact it was really only one ingredient that they got rid of, it has made a huge impact of my piggies liking it. Billie refuses to touch them and is upset because she doesn’t like her morning cookies anymore. I was hoping that at least my my new baby pig who never even had the old recipe before,and would like it. I was very wrong, and Tré refuses to eat them as well.

Don’t do it!
By Oxbow on Feb 28, 2021
Don’t get these! I have two female guinea pigs one of them will eat these and the other bites and walks away. There’s really hard which is why I think they don’t really like them. You’re better off just giving them veg/fruit for vitamin C it can be annoying researching what you can give them regularly but it worth it compared to these.
