Re: Pets at home dried corn

I like to go on the basis of.. if they don't eat it in the wild, its bad for them. I give a tiny amount of pellets to my lot, to make sure they get the vitimins they need and everything else they get given is different types of veggies (usually spinach, cellery and brocolli) on sundays they get a carrot to share and at christmas i MIGHT get them a little corn but its not good for them to have every week or anything x

Re: Pets at home dried corn

Personally I don't like to feed corn because the majority of mammals can't digest it so it risks blockages

Re: Pets at home dried corn

He eats burgess excel pellets but changing over to Allen and page natural over next few weeks. He always has hay, plus veggies etc. Just looking at different things for him and saw those. Didn't think they looked very bunny friendly, good on teeth though I bet. My boy doesnt like carrots, weirdo!! Ha

Re: Pets at home dried corn

its not good but its not bad

dried corn doesnt pose the same risks of blockages as normal corn does, because it is dried the husks are actually digestible if nommed on

my rabbits love willow balls to chew on, cardboard boxes, and garden furniture (note to self must get some more garden furniture for their runs)

Re: Pets at home dried corn

Branches from fruit trees are good. Mine love apple, its even better if I leave an pple attached. I've got a small willow tree in the garden as well and they'll go crazy over a fresh willow branch with leave still on.

Stupid me made the mistake of growing some kale near the bunny shed so when I let them out for their free range garden time I spend most of the time chasing them away from the baby kale so it has chance to grow.

remember, apple pips are toxic, so if you do that you need to core the apple first
