Default Corn

I've noticed in some natural set ups people put ears of corn and millet in their hams cages.

I've tried Alfie on millet and he loves it and I'd like to try giving him some corn too but can't find any in local pet shops and was wondering if anyone had any good links to where I could get some from? Googling just brings up the corn cob chews and reasons why dogs shouldn't have corn lol

I never tried millet or oat sprays, but those tiny corn cobs they sell at pet stores were my Mabel's favorite. She had more fun chewing all the kernels off than actually eating it! I got mine from PetCo here in the US but it looks like Drs. Foster and Smith have them too:

Small pet treat mini corn cobs are great alone or popped in the microwave

You can even microwave it to make popcorn!

Mine all went nuts over those to begin with but the novelty soon wore off & they got ignored lol! They do look nice in the cage though!

He just liked the millet so much I thought they might be worth a try although now there might be import charges
