If you’re watching a movie, pop this treat so your pal can enjoy some popcorn right along with you—without the salt and butter, of course!

Mini-Pop can be served unpopped or popped in the microwave. Feed 1 to 3 corn cobs per week, depending on the size of your companion. To pop in the microwave, place a single cob on a microwave-proof plate on high for 15 seconds. Microwave wattages vary, so repeat if necessary until corn has popped. Not all kernels may pop. Do not microwave more than 2 minutes. Caution: product will be hot.

nice treat for the lil ham, she loved them, both popped and plain. cob is a good chew for friend hamster. i will buy again.
My hamster always loves to chew on these little popcorn but they always don't eat them, but they love to eat the popcorn!
i didn’t pop them to avoid a mess but my rat loved eating the kernels off the cob.
This should only be given as a treat and uncooked! Cooking can reduce their ability to digest the corn!
My hamster loves these so much I have had to buy a couple of times I usually give them to them un popped and they love it
My Hamster loves these. One lasts a few weeks - month. Really good enrichment as they have to really work to get the corn. You can also pop them in the microwave for a hamster friendly popcorn. But I am yet to try this.
My rats went plum crazy over these things. But they pop that good off the cob, but the kernels that do pop are miniature version of people popcorn, so cute. They would fight over the kernels.
This was a great idea but it does NOT stay on the cob. Popcorn explosion all over my microwave!
The variant sold by Brown's - Carnival corn - are not a worthy product. You have a chance of getting a bag of corn that is also infested with moths. If you're trying to decide between this brand and that - go with vitakraft! I've never had an issue with vitakraft but the first time i got brown's i ended up with moths. Takes a while for corn to pop sometimes, but otherwise a very good treat for guinea pigs. If using for hamsters be wary of Females nursing, too much corn can cause them to cannibalize. Avoid feeding to Rabbits, they are NOT healthy for rabbits at all.
I believe my hamster, Teddy, really enjoys this corn on the cob especially when it is popped with popcorn. I did find that heating it up to get the pop corn to stay on the cob was a challenged or me, it only popped half of the corn cob and was super hot afterwards. I did heat it up for 15 seconds then stop for a few seconds then did 15 seconds again( in microwave). One other thing is that when I give my hamster the corn I realize she really just munches at it so I broke it in half so she doesn’t take too much at a time. Overall it’s safe for hamsters as far as I know and have researched, and I think it’s a great treat to give in moderation maybe. Just my preference. Also please anyone that may think it is not safe or has heard other things let me know so I can keep my hamster happy and healthy!
