I know that corn is generally not something most of us want to feed, but I have resorted to feeding COB because it offers a blend of grains without me having 100+ pounds of grain to store and mix at a time (and that would be just a two-grain mixture of oats and barley, each additional grain added would be 50# more to store and mix.)
It's not ideal, but if you have too few rabbits to utilize more than 50lbs at a time, it works. I have noticed no ill effects. In fact, I think the corn with its "hot" properties may actually have been good for my rabbits this winter.
Just something to think about if a natural diet seems too complicated or if the scale intimidates you.
(Disclaimer, I feed the grains as part of a diet that also includes alfalfa in one form or another, grass hay, mineral licks, and as many fresh foods as available, which, in the winter, is not many.)
