Corn kernals

In the latest issue of Rabbiting on there is an article about rabbit toys. This says to aviod toys with corn kernals. Why is this, is it a choking risk?

For some time I have been giving my bunny those dried corn on the cobs you can get from pet shops - she loves them and they take her a long time to chew which I thought would be good for her teeth. Is this safe?

Hiya,

Ifeed my lot baby sweetcorn but not fullsize, im not 100% sure about choking etc as there are alot of for & against depending on various authors. I don't feed corn on the cob because of the stringyness & the kernals incase of choking plus they are huge compared to a bun or guinea so I feel it is too much starch for them.

Here is a link about rabbit care that mentions baby corn, I will see if there's one on sweetcorn on the cob too

the kernels can cause impaction and gut blockage as they are indigestible. Baby corn probs has softer shells to it.
