Corn is not a natural food for guinea pigs. Dried corn carries the risk of aflatoxin, and corn, while not necessarily harmful to guinea pigs, works as a filler and does not offer pigs any nutritional value. Corn can also contribute to Allergies. Also, whole kernel corn can pose as a choking hazard since guinea pigs do not eat with their hands as some rodents do and can't remove large food particles should they become lodged in the throat.
