corn

[Fofinha]

I'm starting to give my dwarf girls a nibble of corn every day. Is it okay for winter white to eat fresh corn? They seem quite like compare to other fresh veggies.

I don't think its good for them every day , my pet shop says once a week they should have a piece of fresh fruit or veg but lettuce is bad for them and causes diarrhea and tomatoes , just in case you didn't know

Yeah I wouldn'y reccomend it every day, maybe just a couple of times a week. You can also try others veggies such as brocolli, peas, cucumber, these is a list I think on the wiki

there is too much sugar in the sweetcorn i think. definitely dont give it every day

[Fofinha]

I've tried carrots, broccoli and cucumber, and they don't like it
I haven't tried peas yet. Think I can only get frozen peas here.
They do like corns, peanuts and cheese thou.
My girls such a picky eater.

You can thaw them in warm water and I think that you can give them frozen too if its a hot day to cool them down - but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

and luckily i have chickens

Milo has a little bit of lettuce once a week - and hes fine he loves it!

[Hope]

Yeah Boirs has a small shred of lettuce sometimes - I have heard not to give them iceberg lettuce though as it has a higher water content??

Tried boiled egg and pasta and they don't like it either they only had bit nibble on the pasta.
Haven't tried scramble egg thou. Use oil or butter to cook it?or without?
Will get peas next time to go to the market.
Any other for dwarfs? I read some possible food but usually they for syrian hamster.
