Scurvy: When something that cannot make it's own vitamin c get sick and pains in the body, and if not treated the can
die from not having any vitamin c or not having enough. So give your cavies their pellet food, veggies and fruits!
Humans, primates, monkeys, and guinea pigs are the only species of animals on this earth( besides bugs which really don't
need vitamin c) that cannot make vitamin c, they need to eat it to get it. Rabbit's systems can make vitamin c, and so can
all other animals besides, humans, primates, monkeys, and guinea pigs.
REMEMBER: ALWAYS GIVE YOUR CAVY OR CAVIES FRESH VEGGIES, FRUITS DAILY, AND IF OLDER SUPPLY THEM WITH TIMOTHY
HAY BASED PELLETS( OVER 6 MONTHS IS WHEN YOU STOP GIVING THEM ALFALFA HAY BASED GUINEA PIG PELLETS)!!!
PARSLEY, ORANGES, RED AND GREEN PEPPER, GUINEA PIG PELLETS, CARROTS, KALE, AND SOME OTHER VEGGIES HAVE VITAMIN C
IN THEM!
REMEMBER HUMANS CAN DIE FROM: SCURVY, SO EAT UP YOUR VEGGIES AND FRUITS, AND MAKE SURE YOUR GUINEA PIGS DO
TOO! AND PRIMATES, AND MONKEYS EAT THEIR VEGGIES AND FRUITS! SO BE HEALTHY AND LIVE HEALTHY: YOU AND YOUR CAVY OR CAVIES

You can also put vitamin C in your cavies water if you have a lot or if you don't want to give them fresh greens and
fruits. But its recemended to give them fresh greens and fruits DAILY.
