At my local morrisons, sweetcorn with the leaves attatched were found for less than 40p each! How fab is that? All my girls love it, it's even better for them. Bon appitite! :)p x

i get these from the greengrocer for 99p. we again dont have a morrisons around here! damn it! can they eat the green leaves, i ripped them off yesterday! silly me!

is there a limit to how much sweetcorn they eat? they absolutely love it!
 
well, it is fattening to them, so it's a treat! But the leaves are the best bits for them! Plenty to get their teeth down. x ps you don't have anything near you, do you Emily?!

lol! its true, we dont! haha! we have them in maidstone which is about 25 mins away but its a long old drive for brgains! by the time ive got there, i might as well bought it locally to me!

Its rubbish, we have nothing round here, ask caviesgalore, shes only down the road from me! lol! alhtough she is a bit nearer to Maidstone than me!

I will have to commission one of you to get it for me and send me it all! hehe!

back to the sweetcorn - how often would you give it to your piggys?

I grew mine, I think the packetof seeds were probably a pound or two, and I have about 12 plants bearing between 1 & 3 cobs each.
Apparently they can eat the silks, leaves and stem? I shan`t give the guineas the actual cob but they are welcome to the rest!
 
Mine like sweetcorn but we don't have a morrisons near us only a vegi shop in town.

Aldi sell them like that as well - bought 2 cobs today and the piglets are currently munching their way through some, well The Colonel is, Mr Grimes is glaring at him and trying to remain dignified.
 
thanks for that! i shall make sure i dont give it to them too much then!
 
Wow I didn't know they could have sweetcorn. Do you just give them the whole cob raw?/ Tesco have been doing 2 for 99p this last couple of weeks.

yes you do Nemo - my piggies LOVE it! try it out!
 
give them the leaves and all! i give it once or twice a week. when mine were in two cages, each pair got one cob a week, now they're all together they get one cob for the four girls twice a week ish! x
 
Well we had corn on the cobs last night - its a good job I didn't know this then or the piggies would have had them.:(|)
 
I bought some peppers on Saturday for them but haven't tried them with them yet - will try them tonight and see how they go. It's the green ones that they should have isn't it? Can they have a bit of the red and yellow ones too?/
 
i've got an interview for there at 4!
Good Luck.:)
