Applicable for:
· Mammals Rabbit Wolf

Rabbit = Redirect from this point.
Wolf = Show these results.
Appearance: Artificial
Description: Corn cob is prepared frozen by drilling a hole through the cob. It is place on a 1/4-inch bolt and hangs in the enclosure.
Materials: clip; eye bolt; threaded connector; 1/4-inch bolt in appropriate length; nut
Assembly Notes: At one end of the bolt place the threaded connector and then the eye bolt. Then pre-drill a frozen raw corn on the cob with a 1/2-inch bit. It is much easier to drill them when they are frozen. Place the cob on the bolt and screw the nut from the opposite end until it supports the cob on the bolt.
Dimensions: N/A
Cost: $1-$10
Safety Concerns: Watch for ingestion of the nut; if the nut is 2-3 inches up the bolt it is usually left alone.
Comments: This enrichment item is nice because you can prepare all the items in advance and prep time is pretty low. Check with a staff nutritionist to make sure this item does not interfere with the current diet.
