Can rabbits eat corn?

Better not

Corn is on the RSPCA’s list of foods rabbits shouldn’t eat, including dried corn. RSPCA Australia lists it among foods high in sugar and simple carbohydrates that rabbits should avoid.

Good to know: Corn doesn’t belong in pellets either: the House Rabbit Society advises against pellets with corn mixed in.
