I always thought rice would swell and rupture their organs... like they say happens to pigeons. Maybe that's just a myth...
That's funny because I always heard that, too! Guess it's just an urban legend. :D

I would probably try it if I had more rice than I could eat before it went bad- but I would mix it with some crumble or pellet if you have it, and maybe some black oil sunflower seed, in a large trash can. You could add warm milk to each serving to make a mash.
