When we first got piggies we bought some of those dried cobs but nobody ever paid any attention to them at all. However our 2 new rescue babies seem to love shredding them to pieces , we get up in the morning and there is corn scattered everywhere! Thing is, are they safe enough for continued chomping?
We had put one of those encrusted cardboard houses in the cage as one older piggy likes to nibble the correx from time to time but the vet said you have to be careful they don't eat too much cardboard or it can cause problems with constipation, so they only get that at pen-time now, as well as the sea grass chewy things . Any advice please? Thanks
 
My Chock loves the dry corn cobs a lot...
Havent had any issues with him having them so i guess they ok...
 
:D I've seen them being sold in shops, but they look horrible, so I have never bought them.
 
Like you I also looked at them when we first got our pigs, but did some research and several people on here said that their piggies had problems with them.
Things like a dried kernel getting stuck on a pigs tooth in one case :yikes:
So I would probably avoid them. There are lots of other, safer things your guinea pigs can play with and destroy.
