Can My Boys Eat Popcorn?

[Maddie]

Awhile ago I bought the brand Vitakeaft mini-pop microwavable corn. They come in a pack of four little corn cobs. The kind you see outside for squirrels. On the package it says you can feed it to them on the cob or pop it in the microwave. Is that ok to feed them? It's just made of 100% miniature white corn on the cob. I'd like to try to pop it and feed it to them but I just want to know if it's ok for them first. Thanks!

No. Guinea pigs cannnot eat any cooked food. Well done for checking first.

I wouldn't risk it, I had some pieces of popcorn in a bag of herbs and bits of dried veg and stuff and one of my piggies got the corn stuck on her teeth and I had to remove it. Uncooked corn on the cob is much better for them in my opinion.
