Maize

[Rhinorhodes]

Hi peops, sorry if this has come up before but I'm new to this website. My big question is how many people feed maize to black rhinos? Have you tested the iron content? I have heard it is high in iron so I always follow the 'everything in moderation' rule... should I be? Is it a big no no? Any help appreciated (esp in iron content please)

Thanks
Helen

hi Helen, welcome to Zoochat.

Just so you are aware, Zoochat is an zoo enthusiast site - there are some actual zookeepers (current and present) on here, but the bulk of the membership are just people who enjoy visiting and discussing zoos. So your question may result in answers which are intended to be helpful but do not come from actual experience or knowledge.
