CORN HUSKS...AN ENJOYABLE TREAT FOR DONKEYS...
Donkeys can eat corn husks. They are safe and are, especially, enjoyed as a treat for donkeys used to rougher foods (be sure to wash the corn husk while on the corn come to easily remove dirt and chemical sprays).
Like straw, it's less nutritious but contains more fiber which is essential in the donkey diet.
They can be offered as a treat or mixed with other feed, like hay, to help encourage donkeys to eat rougher foods.
While corn husks are safe, it's best to offer them in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not give donkeys whole, large corn cobs, especially the pith (the center part of the cob) due to the risk of blockage.
DONKEY TIP: If you want to avoid nippy donkeys you can always feed these treats in a dish or feeder.
