Corn husks...
I just picked some up at the grocery store on my way home (have to love free produce), and gave a leaf to each of my pigs. They love them! =)
My question: how much can they have in a sitting and how often can they have them (ie: Daily, weekly, bi-weekly, rarely)?

Corn husks are a huge favorite around here. The girls love them and try to squirrel them away from the others by hiding them in their pigloos. I love them because they're free! The people at the local fresh market are used to us picking through the discard bins and ask, "so how are the guinea pigs?" when they see us doing it.

I've started picking through the big garbage can next to the corn. Mine think they are candy. They, too, get more than one leaf at a time! The silk is nummy too.
I think mine would slip out of the cage and slit my throat if I gave them only one lol! Or at least eat my kidney...
Whenever I have corn in the house they get 2-3 leaves each per day.
If you want to make it more entertaining I make little corn husk parcels. You finely dice veggies, herbs etc then put a little pile in the end of the husk.
Fold each end over and tie with another piece of husk that is about 1cm wide. My pigs absolutely love these and have so much fun opening them up to get to their treats.
(course their's nothing better than a parcel where you can eat both the present AND the wrapping) :P

Aertyn that’s a great idea. We’re having corn on the cob tonight
so the piggies are getting the husks and I’ll have to try that.
