One of my cobs wouldn't pop and I wasn't feeling like I should give him it so I striped all the corn of the cob and the cob was soft and dry. And then it hit me. I'll put this in my piggie's cage. It's so light weight, my piggie can toss it around! New toy! Well, he did toss it around, but he also chewed on it. It is SO hard to get my guinea pig to chew in wood! The weird thing is, I don't know why I took it out of the cage and put it on my computer stand. It looks like he's been pretty hard at work, so he's probably mad at me!:p
