Was just wondering if chewable vitamin C tabs are safe to give my piggies vegetables have been horrible lately around here (wilted, mushy, wrinkley) and I ran out of the oxbow and can't get anymore till Monday have to work literally all weekend but I work in a pharmacy so I could grab the human chewable kind.

Thanks

I would rather suggest oxbow vitamin c tablets for small animals. I then use a pill cutter to cut it into four pieces.

Human vitamin C is fine -- it's all just ascorbic acid anyway. You just need to make sure it's not a multivitamin, and if you're going to finish out the bottle, that the tablets aren't horribly full of sugar.
