In moderation I can't see the harm

One of my friends has a Syrian and I know she gives him pieces of plain popcorn every now and then as a treat, should be fine

I have cobs I buy that are hammy friendly. I pop them in the microwave. Freya destroys the cob itself (still has corn on it, popped open, is very cool) and afterwards I give her sprinkles of corn to use it up.

She absolutely loves pop corn

I tried giving it to mine last night. Mixed results - TeeTee ate it, big surprise there and Spartacus batted it out of his food bowl.

I gave mine the cobs unpopped and they loved it! They stripped them pretty quick. I haven't tried popping them, but that would be fun too.

Ive never see unpopped corn cobs and im getting a little confused. Are we talking about popcorn (the type you get at the cinema as a snack) or sweetcorn (the yellow veg)?

this is similar to what I use. Mine is a different brand, but looks the same.

That looks great, ive never seen anything like that before, just loose unpopped kernels and fresh sweetcorn on the cob. When you pop them in the microwave do they stay on the cob or ping off everywhere?
