Is it save for pigs to eat corn on the cob? should I cut the corn off? I was worried if she ate the cob that it could get impacted.

Partial impaction could occur depending on the size of your Penelope, so it is best to cut it. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
