What this sheet is for

Track the four things guinea pigs most often go wrong on, with a weight column that catches trouble early.

Who it is for

Guinea pig owners, rescues and families.

How to use it

  1. Weigh weekly; guinea pigs lose weight before they look unwell.
  2. Record vitamin C — they cannot make their own.
  3. Check teeth and nails regularly and note it.
  4. Record who they live with; they are social animals.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Weight, vitamin C, nails, teeth and companionship — the four things guinea pigs go wrong on.

Why those columns exist — but not the quantities. No diet quantities or supplement doses are printed. Guinea pigs cannot make their own vitamin C and their teeth grow continuously, which is why those columns exist — but how much of what, and how often, is a matter for your vet and a species-specific source.

Questions

How much vitamin C do guinea pigs need?

No dose is printed. It depends on age, health and diet, and both deficiency and over-supplementation are possible. Your vet is the source; the sheet records what you gave.

What weight should a guinea pig be?

No target is printed. The useful signal is a steady weight in your own animal — a consistent fall is a reason to ring the vet whatever the absolute number.
