DANGEROUS: rolling balls (can break the bones in foot/spine, are fatal, should only be used for gerbils) and vitamin C drops IF USED IN THE WATER because they are not water soluble. After five minutes they aren't effective any more, and they leave the water tasting bad. Reduced water consumption causes a host of medical issues in guinea pigs. (And guess what a non-Cavy Savvy Vet might prescribe? Vitamin C drops for scurvy. Ouch. Look to a Proper Diet instead for vitamin C sources).
