According to Francodex, this dose covers 3/4 of an adult guinea pig’s daily needs. 250-ml bottle.
Description
Why give vitamin C to guinea pigs?
Guinea pigs cannot synthesize vitamin C. An adult guinea pig’s daily requirement is 20 mg per kg of body weight. According to Francodex, this requirement triples (to 60 mg per kg) during pregnancy, lactation, or recovery.
The liquid formula mixes into drinking water: guinea pigs take it without stress, and dosing is easy.

- Maintenance: 5 ml per liter of drinking water, using the measuring cup. Replace daily.
