Can deer eat popcorn kernels?

Question

I'm planning on visiting a petting zoo/game ranch.

Answer 1

I had sweetcorn and popcorn planted and the deer only got into the popcorn and didn't bother the sweetcorn

Answer 2

THE SHORT ANSWER IS YES. DEER ARE RUMINANTS AND CHEW THE CUD BUT I'M UNSURE WHETHER THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO CHEW UP POPCORN.

Answer 3

Popcorn is extremely hard....after chomping down on the pprcorn, they may be spitting their teeth out like Chiclets!

Answer 4

ha ha!! yes i believe so

Answer 5

Yep. I live by a ranch and we feed them the unpopped kernels all the time.

Answer 6

Yes, they eat dried corn.

Answer 7

Deer can eat popcorn kernels, but most of them will pass through undigested.  Most petting zoos won't let you feed any thing but the feed that they will sell you.  If they will permit you to bring your own feed, I would think that something like alfalfa pellets would be the thing to take. No matter what kind of feed for the animals that you take with you be sure to check with the people in charge before feeding it.

Answer 8

well popcorn has the word corn in them soo id do it but thatss just me being well.... me:

Answer 9

they can eat them but I do not know if it would be good for them to do so.

Answer 10

they can but they the owner will probably have feed that they sell by the cup full that they feed and might get upset at you bringing strange food in that might upset the digestive tract  of their animals
