You can put nails on a wooden board and then you stick the cob on the nail.
I hang them with cooking twine from shepherds hooks. Nothing funnier to watch! They love it though. I also place a few on the ground for the more timid and babies. Be sure to pick up daily, otherwise you may get bugs.
Do you have a tree or a fence/post to work with? They sell many types of corn cob holders for squirrels, but if you look at them (and the cobs they sell) you could diy your own to fit your needs. I have an old bird feeder at the back of the yard that I can throw stuff in for the critters, trying to keep them out of the bird feeder by the deck 🐿!
be very very careful if you feed corncobs in your yard. Dogs have been known to get a blockage and die before you even know what the issue is. I no longer feed corn cobs. The squirrels always take them off whatever you put them on and any pet can find them around the yard. If you MUST feed rodents...feed whole corn kernels
