Corn Husks And Spring Greens

[Siikibam]

The boys’ grandma saved them some corn husks and I’m wondering how often they can eat it. And how can I ‘preserve’ it?

Also I just read spring greens shouldn’t be given daily, yet I’m sure someone said you can! Now I don’t know what to feed them if spring greens aren’t allowed daily.

TIA

Here is our diet guide put together my our much more knowledgeable members than me Long Term Balanced General And Special Needs Guinea Pig Diet

It indicates that a slice of spring greens a day is ok as it is the mildest of the brassicas.

Not sure about corn husks as I've never fed them

My lot love corn husks! It's a great little treat for them I don't know about how often they can have it as I don't have it around that often but I don't think there's anything bad in there!

Mine luurve corn husks and silks! I don’t see them very often so they don’t get them very often. I’m not sure how often they can safely be fed. I found they lasted really well in the fridge, but beyond that I wouldn’t try to preserve them.

Mine love the silks and papers of corn too! When I can get them they have a bit every other day. As @Guineapigfeet said they keep well in the fridge.

I’ll just keep them in the fridge then. There’s quite a bit - worth about about 3-4 corn on the cob! I’ve been away all day today and was only able to give them breakfast (no time to clean them out), so gave them a strip each as a treat.
