This is common on all brands except Oxbow which has NO corn in it, only wheat. I looked at the ingredients of all brands. There are some scientists insisting not to buy brands with corn "ground corn" because it is no different than the dried corn, whether someone thinks it being ground somehow makes its chemical make up different or not. Oxbow is not available locally to everyone, and can be costly to get it shipped. Is it the position of everyone that we should only be feeding Oxbow and nothing else?
This is from your own website Jo -
"Corn and alfalfa is not bad for rats. They do have nutritional value. They do however contain cellulose which reduces somewhat but not entirely itâs digestibility. They provide energy, protein and fiber.
It has been said that corn may contain fungi but all grains cultivated in fields, kept in silos may contain fungi, nitrates and nitrites⦠Cheerios anyone? â¦not to mention all the vegetables!
Hereâs an excellent article on alfalfa"
So not only is corn dangerous, but now ALL grains are dangerous. So why the prejudice toward corn?
