Hi,
I was reccommended giving my goos dried corn on the cob as a treat.
Would this be ok or is it too high in sugar for them?
Thanks!

Corn doesn't really have much nutritional value (other than carbs) so it's best kept to small quantities. Sweet corn is also higher in sugar, so even smaller quantities are appropriate.

I would keep corn to a treat type food rather than a frequent food item. As Moletteuk has said, it tends to be higher in sugar than other foods and it is better to keep it in small controlled amounts.
