Is a higher guinea pig supplement dose safe for younger pigs?

Question

I've been giving my guinea pigs this for a supplement and it's been working great. When I got Sebastian he was 3 months so I only did 16 drops, but Sincestian is now 8 months I was thinking putting the full dose of 32 drops in the water. But Cosmo is only five months. If I went to 32 drops would it be bad for Cosmo? I do have two water bottles but they share everything so either way he will drink the other bottle.

I am sorry for the delay in getting to your question. It is fine to increase it to the full amount. It will not harm the younger one. Vitamin C is a "water soluble" vitamin, meaning any excess beyond what the body can use is excreted in the urine and will not cause harm.
