Corn is not a normal feed for cavies, may contribute to allergies, and can be high in fat and certain sugars/starch depending on the product. Additionally, some corn is contaminated with deadly aflatoxin which can cause liver failure and death.)
Lastly, yes it has the potential to be a choking hazard.
If you want to feed corn to your pigs, try fresh corn on the cob along with husk and silk, but only feed about 1/2 an ear to 1-2 pigs per week. | I didn't know this. My pigs love baby corn. Its organic and not dried, just a normal vegetable. Is this not ok? |
