Corn, fresh or dried, is NOT safe for rabbits. The hull of corn kernels is composed of a complex polysaccharide (not cellulose and pectin, of which plant cell walls are more commonly composed, and which a rabbit can digest) which rabbits cannot digest. We know of more than one rabbit who suffered intestinal impactions because of the indigestible corn hulls. After emergency medical treatment, when the poor rabbits finally passed the corn, their fecal pellets were nearly solid corn hulls! Those rabbits were lucky.

Is butter on corn bad for rabbits?

In the first place, you should not be feeding the rabbits corn because it is high in starch which is not good for them. So butter on corn is a double whammy because it is not good to give them refined sugar or things with alot of unhealthy things in it, such as butter. If you would like to see a list of things that they can eat, search what fruit and veg can rabbits eat? I answered that, and it has a bunch of info on food for rabbit owners! Hope this helps, and your bunnies have a long life!! =)

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.
