anyone tried freezing corn husks?

I just discovered that my piggies LOVE corn husks. I see from the chart that they can be fed daily. My grocery store lets me take them for free, so I was wondering if I should grab a whole gigantic bunch of them and freeze them. Do they thaw well? Or would it be better to feed it fresh?

Veggies should be fed fresh with the exception of things like watermelon, canteloupe and honeydew rinds, which make a nice cool treat on really hot summer days.

Maybe get enough for a week from your store and keep them in the refridgerator but keep them a bit moist as they will dry out. Then you can go back the next week and get more.

I know you can dry them. Hang them on a line, like you would dry a hot pepper. I don't know what it does to the nutrition but it would allow you to store them longer.

I don't think freezing corn husks would work out to well. They would probably be mushy when thawed.
