Mine quite like corn on the cob. They also like the silks, but mine have never had those.

I wouldn't give them any of them once they'd been cooked though

Sweetcorn is edible to piggies but very high in sugar so should be fed as a very occasional treat. Mine have never eaten the rusk of it so don't know if it's edible or whether they are just fussy lol. Mine probably have about 2-3 a year between them

Thank you @Lady Kelly & @Guineapigfeet we will leave that as a treat then.
Also I've read that we can give give types of lettuce. Is little gem ok? I know iceberg is a no no

Yes little gem is fine, the only lettuce to avoid is iceberg

My boys love corn on the cob as a treat. They don't eat the inner bit, only the sweetcorn and it shouldn't be cooked. I've read it's quite good for their teeth (incisors), hence why my boys get it a little more often than normal (Oreo won't wear his incisors down properly so I have to keep an eye on them. Ironically, his premolars are fine).

My two love corn on the cob for a occasional treat. I usually chop the ends off one and give them that with some of the kernels attached (raw not cooked).They love the silks too. They also love baby corn.
