How do people have scurvy?
Scurvy is a disease caused by a Vitamin C deficiency. An animal that can commonly suffer from scurvy is the guinea pig as they do not produce their own Vitamin C and need to obtain it from their diet. Vitamin C is important for the production of collagen, a key component of bone and other tissues. The lack of Vitamin C can lead to blood clotting problems, joint problems, and skin issues. Guinea pigs can get Vitamin C from fruits and vegetables or supplementation with Vitamin C tablets. There are specially formulated diets for guinea pigs which are rich in Vitamin C. However, even though there may be proper supplementation in the diet, a guinea pig which is ill can still develop signs of scurvy, as they may stop eating or have problems with the absorption of the nutrients in the diet, especially with gastrointestinal issues. So to prevent the disease, be certain guinea pigs are on guinea pig diets rich in Vitamin C, properly supplemented with fruits and vegetables, and if necessary, Vitamin C tablets. Keep a close eye to be certain that the guinea pigs are eating adequately and watch for any signs of bleeding disorders, joint or skin problems. If any of these signs/abnormalities are noted, seek veterinary assistance. The condition can be corrected if caught early and treated properly.

Guinea pigs mostly get there vitamin c from vegetables you feed them but they can get it from pellets that have vitamin c in them and is made just for them.
