Finally Feeling Ready To Bake Again!

2006-08-12T15:56:00.000-06:00

I feel that since Ginger's death that I have really neglected the Bunny Treats Blog. I finally feel ready to start baking new recipes and writing down ones already created (I just have to nail down the proper measurements). I hope that everyone enjoys the new recipes to come.
A new one will be up next week. I was thinking something newly created made with raspberries and mint!
I hope everyone will enjoy the new recipes to come.

Have a great day!

Robin, along with Daisy and Hazel :)

No treat post for this week, sorry!

This week has not been a good week, my well loved rabbit, Ginger, past away this week due to kidney failure. I hope that everyone continues to check out my blog and I will try and get something up this weekend. Thanks!

Berry Madness Biscuits

2006-04-17T19:24:00.000-06:00

2/3 cup Blueberries, fresh or frozen, de-thawed

2/3 cup Strawberries, fresh or frozen, de-thawed
1 tbsp honey
2/3 cup Rabbit Pellets, ground finely

2 pieces Shredded wheat

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Using a blender, puree together blueberries, raspberries, and Strawberries.
Pour puree in bowl and mix with honey.
Grind pellets, and oats using a coffee grinder (use a grinder only used to make rabbit treats). And crush shredded wheat into small pieces (I like to put them in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin). And mix in with puree until well blended together.
Roll out dough on plastic wrap (It makes for easier clean up) until it's about 1/4" thick.
Use a mini cookie cutter or shot glass (no bigger than 1") and place on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper (it prevents sticking and doesn't add any grease).
Cook for 30 minutes or until brown on bottom. Let cool (For a crunchier treat, turn off oven and leave in until stove cools).

*This is a larger recipe and can be cut in half.

The Start Of Bunny Treats

2006-04-16T11:49:00.000-06:00

I have 3 rabbits named Ginger, Daisy and Hazel and they are all treat lovers! Of course a lot of commercial treats are not good for them and should not be fed. So, about a year ago I set out to make my own treats. I started with the recipe on the House Rabbit Society (HRS) website with "Brenda's Homemade Bunny Biscuits" http://www.rabbit.org/fun/biscuts.html
and have created my own variations on that recipe. I hope with this blog to share all of my recipes with you that I have created over the last year.
