Yes you give it raw with all the leaves on. Some people prefer to remove the stringy bits (I think I would personally) but I think some just leave them there.

Noooooo! the silks are the most nutricious (sp?) part ! The adore the silks and leaves more than the cob! Corn silk has been known to help bladder problems too! leave them on!

The ones in Pets at Home are just not good for them, the ones from Tescos are fab, clear enough?

i buy mine a pack of corn on the cobs every week, but i usually get them rom asda, and they come with all the leaves etc still on. i usually take the leaves off as didnt realise they could eat them, but will prob leave them on this week for the piggies to eat

Mine like corn on the cob and they would NOT be happy if I took the leaves and stringy bits off as that's their favourite part! Sometimes they eat that and then leave the corn! ;D

They're dried and are better for things like gerbils. C:PerfectPiggies said:
Our gerbils loved destroying them.

My girls love fresh corn too. I let them hang on to the bare 'cob' for a bit too to help wear down their teeth.

i gave mine corn last night and gave then the leaves with it, and they didnt even touch the corn until they had demolished the leaves! ;D
