Can bunnies eat fresh tomatoas

Answer 1

No, rabbits can't digest corn properly and it can lead to gut impaction and serious illness. Rabbits shouldn't have any fresh corn, not even as a treat. Anyway, corn is high in sugars and carbohydrates, which aren't good for rabbits.

Answer 2

By "corn husk," this question means the leafy outer covering of the corn cob.

Feeding corn husk to rabbits is controversial (see the links below for different viewpoints). Many people say they have fed corn husk to their rabbits (after all, they are high in fibre, which is great for rabbits), and the rabbits love it and there's never been any problems. However, corn husks are dangerous for two reasons:

• Very stringy material: like with celery, the strings are hard to bite through, and they can get caught and wrapped around a rabbit's teeth causing serious problems
• Corn husks are usually loaded with pesticides, which can be toxic to rabbits

If you decide to give corn husks to your rabbit, make sure that:

• You cut it up so the strings won't cause problems
• The corn is organic and has no pesticides or other toxins.

Corn itself can be very dangerous for rabbits, too. Rabbits can't digest the hulls (the outer covering of each single corn kernel -- these are also sometimes called "husks"). Feeding fresh corn to your rabbit can lead to gut impaction (a serious, life-threatening condition). Aside from that danger, corn is high in sugars and carbohydrates, which are unhealthy for rabbits and will lead to illness (if not in the short-term, then in the long-term). Dried milled corn is often an ingredient in rabbit pellets, and so long as the pellets are low in fat (less than 2%), that's okay; but the rabbit shouldn't eat any other corn or high fat (sugar/starch) foods.

Rabbits should eat a diet of lots and lots of hay, with some pellets and some leafy green vegetables. Fruit can be a bite or two of fruit or non-leafy vegetable. See the retailed questions below for more details.

Answer 3

Yes, rabbits love maize, also known as Indian corn. Rabbits both in the wild and captivity will happily nibble on corn when they can get it. However it is a grain, which is less digestible to rabbits, and also tends to be high in sugars, too much of which can make for a fat rabbit. So care should be given on how much corn is fed to your pet rabbit.

A small chunk of dried corn (aka maize) given about once a week as a treat should be fine. Given in this form to be nibble directly from the cob has the added benefit of helping to wear down your rabbit's teeth. You can even find commercially produced small corn-cob treats in many pet stores, which are meant to be tossed in the microwave and popped for bunny. Let it cool completely first, of course, and no butter and salt for it!

Answer 4

Rabbits can eat dried ground corn, although it shouldn't be a big part of their diet at all. Some rabbit pellets have ground corn as an ingredient -- that's fine, assuming the rabbit is eating a healthy diet and the pellets are high-quality (see the related questions/links below for details).

Otherwise, it's not necessary to feed corn to your rabbits. There are better treat options, like a bite of carrot or pineapple.

Never feed whole corn kernels or fresh corn to a rabbit! Rabbits can't digest the hulls, so eating corn can lead to digestive impaction, GI stasis, even death.

Answer 5

No, baby corn isn't good for rabbits.

Corn is not good for rabbits in general. Corn is high in natural sugars, carbohydrates, which aren't healthy for rabbits -- too much of it can lead to illness. Rabbits get enough of these kinds of ingredients (often milled corn) in their pellets: they don't need any more as treats. A better treat for a rabbit is an occasional bite of carrot, or apple, for a bit of variety.

The other thing is that normal, fully-grown corn hulls are indigestible to rabbits, so it's dangerous to feed them fresh corn because this can lead to gut impaction. There is no information about whether baby corn is digestible or not; better safe than sorry, and skip the baby corn.

It is not a good idea to feed rabbits any canned, frozen, cooked, or processed foods. Rabbits get enough of that in their pellets. Aside from their pellets and hay, rabbits should eat fresh foods only.
