Corn Cob Bedding for Bunnies

[daniel]

I've heard that corn cob beddings isn't good for bunnies.

Yet, many pet shops are using it, eg Sam Yick, Pets n Stuff, etc.

Some vets even recommend Corn Cobs as Beddings for Bunnies...

But web sites don't recommend. HRSS for one does not recommend the use of corn cobs on bunnies.

Health issues surrounding intestinal blockages contribute by use of corn cobs has been discussed. But is there really concrete evidence why corn cobs should not be used?

Any comments on this

PS i chose NO... anyhow, I use Breeder's Choice Errr not advertising for them hor... dun get the wrong idea.

i choose NO 'cause i dun want to take the risk.

I choose NO cos many people say no and i dun wan to take the risk too. If i have a bunny, i'll be using BC Cat Litter too. Cos i feel that it is the most absorbant beddings i have ever come across.

Me also No cause used it for 1 week when I was in UK. Bad experience! Mould easily. And develop sore hocks. Also very noisy when bunny hop out of litter pans.

well, from the looks of the poll, it seems that all that voted, did so against the use of corn cobs...

Nonetheless, some shops persist in using corn cobs as their beddings... in fact i read from one of the pet magazines, that corn cob was indeed encouraged for use with rabbits.

Anyhow, guess the more knowledgeable people knows otherwise...
