Also there are foods such as banana, pear and raspberry on the 'safe' list that should be only fed as treats for example due to their high sugar content.

You also shouldnt feed full size corn esp the PAH dried corn, partly that's because the individual bits of corn are not easily digested and could possibly cause a gut blockage, and partly because they are way too starchy to be good for a bun's diet or digestion. As buns are very sensitive to disturbances in their GI tract so i avoid it! Although other people do feed buns it with no problems, i just wont risk it.
