=Corn=  


==whole kernel==

<what is >
===Pros===
Cheap, fast weight gain in grow outs.

===Cons===
May kill your rabbits by acute onset bloat and GI statis. Whole corn is mostly Carbs, which will add fat not muscle. Rabbits can not digest the Hulls so it will create inflammation and damage to the intestines .
