I have two rabbits, both dutch. Would DRIED corn husks be okay to put in their cage? I know that there are string like things inside the husk, but I wonder about dried. I've looked this up on the internet, as well as other foods. Again, dried corn husks, just for them to nest or chew on, would this be alright?
They might be ok as bedding but dried husks have no nutrient value what so ever! Since there are better things for bedding which are a lot more absorbent, I would forget the husks
I see these for sale in pet shops, with big pictures of bunnies on the packets, but I do NOT recommend them for bunnies!
Full sized corn doesn't get digested properly and can cause serious gut blockages in rabbits. They can be fed fresh baby corn as a treat, but never ever the full sized corn on the cob!
EDIT: SORRY, I just registered the husk thing. The outer leaves I'm not aware of how edible they are. To be honest I wouldn't bother. They'd much prefer some cabbage!
What do you mean by husks? Husks can mean the inside, whats left after eating the corn or the leafy things on the outside. They can have the leafy things on the outside if they are fresh, do not feed dried, but I am not sure about the inside of the corn cob.
