Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What ingredients are in Vitakraft Drops with Orange, and do they contain allergens?

Ans: These treats contain natural whey protein, dried orange, sugar, vegetable oil, corn starch, dried yogurt, and ascorbic acid without artificial colors or preservatives. They contain milk derivatives and soy (lecithin). Introduce gradually and monitor for allergic reactions.

Q2: Why is vitamin C important for guinea pigs, and how much do these drops provide?

Ans: Guinea pigs cannot produce their own vitamin C and require 10-20mg daily to prevent scurvy. These drops provide concentrated vitamin C, supporting immune function and overall health. Use alongside fresh vegetables and quality pellets for balanced nutrition.

Q3: How many Vitakraft Orange Drops should I feed my guinea pig daily?

Ans: Feed 1-3 drops daily as an occasional treat. Since oranges are acidic and high in sugar, limit to a few drops several times weekly rather than daily to prevent mouth sores and digestive upset.

Q4: Can I use these treats for training or bonding with my guinea pig?

Ans: Yes! These small, soft drops are ideal for hand-feeding during training and bonding. They encourage trust and positive associations while strengthening your bond and rewarding good behavior or taming progress.

Q5: Are Vitakraft Orange Drops suitable for all guinea pigs, including babies and seniors?

Ans: These drops are safe for any age in appropriate portions. Younger and pregnant guinea pigs need higher vitamin C (30mg daily), making treats beneficial. Senior guinea pigs enjoy them sparingly while monitoring kidney function concerns.

Q6: How do oranges compare to other vitamin C sources for guinea pigs?

Ans: Oranges provide moderate vitamin C but are high in acid and sugar, requiring careful portions. Red peppers and leafy greens offer superior vitamin C without excess sugar. Use orange treats alongside fresh vegetables and fortified pellets.

Q7: What should I do if my guinea pig shows digestive upset after eating these drops?

Ans: Discontinue immediately and ensure fresh water access. Monitor for diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite, or mouth sores indicating sensitivity. Contact your veterinarian if symptoms persist beyond 24 hours for examination and treatment.

Q8: How should I store Vitakraft Orange Drops to maintain freshness?

Ans: Store in the resealable packaging in a cool, dry place below 85°F away from direct sunlight. Proper storage maintains texture, flavor, and vitamin C potency throughout the product's shelf life for optimal freshness.

Q9: Can guinea pigs eat fresh oranges or orange juice instead of these treats?

Ans: Guinea pigs can eat fresh oranges in small amounts (a few bites several times weekly) but cannot safely consume orange juice, canned oranges, or acidic citrus, which can cause painful mouth sores and digestive issues.
