are you saying you take out just the sweetcorn and feed them a fare bit ??
id just leave it in the mix and feed as treats , or you could use it as training treats if they like it that much  :thumbsup:

I agree with Mandi remove the sweetcorn to force her to try other things as sweetcorn does not have a high nutrition value.

hi tracy

it might not be dried sweetcorn in the seed . it might be maize which you find in lots of seed mixes . good vegies most green leaved types you can give them cooked or raw its a case of giving them both ways and seeing which your grey prefers,
