I recall someone saying that they carefully smashed up Vit C tabs for their 
piggies.Remember the operative word here "piggies"  No smashing needed at 
all.  All my Penny Gigles took their own, single tablet right out of the 
container and munched down happily, wheeked when they heard the container 
rattle.  All except little Jetma of course, she had a knack for getting 2 in 
one swipe so I usually handed her's to her.

If they are resisitant at first just eat one youself while holding the piigy 
close so she can she what you are doing, make enjoyment noises. Piggies 
learn what to eat from their moms or in adulthood from other pigs. I just 
had to get on of them to like lemons, and then it was off to the races. Same 
with syringe feeding juice and pellet slurry. Teach tthem now in health, 
then in sickness they will dive for it, except Jetma of course, she would 
jank it out of my hand and try to work it herself or at least suck it out of 
the end.
Piggies,  mmmmmmmmm!
