Corn of the cob safe for bunnies?

[MyBoyHarper]

Someone told me corn on the cob was safe for rabbits, so I picked up an ear for 20 cents at the fruit market. Of course, I never feed anything without reading about it first. However, I can't find corn on the cob listed anywhere on any of the vegetable lists.

Is it okay? And if so, should it be shucked first?

Corn is generally not advised because it's so high in carbs.

I wouldn't recommend it. The kernels are hard to digest and might actually cause a blockage. It's also a lot of carbs for a bunny and could upset their stomachs.

*Chucks the corn in the trash* Thanks for letting me know!

I like corn, but only cream corn. Weird, I know. :shock:

Anyone remember the M*A*S*H episode when the padre grew the fresh corn, and then thecook creamed it instead of making corn on the cob?

I occasionally give my girls a piece of baby corn each and I've never had any problems with that... in fact, they love it. Will baby corn give them digestion problems, too?
