What kinds of healthy treats do you give to your bunnies?
I’m looking for something I can give on a daily basis, especially since we are starting the bonding process with Heff and August. I give them a bit of banana chip from time to time (about the size of my pinky nail), but I want to find something they both like that they can have on a daily basis. August is easy, she thinks veggies are the best thing EVER! This morning I learned that I all I have to do to get her to come to her cage when it’s time for me to go to work is to get the veggie container out and show it to her and she will follow it down the hall to the bunny room! I also have to be a little careful about the quantity of veggies for August right now as we have been dealing with her producing extra cecals from her diet change.
Heff on the other hand, likes his veggies when it’s time for Noms, but it’s not the best treat in the world and he will ignore them either until I leave the room or it is Nom Time. He’s a total sweet tooth (like his momma) and will snatch his bit of banana chip and run across the room with it, lest I take it away from him.
They both like their pellets when it’s Pellet Time, but could care less when offered as a “treat”. I’d like to find something that they both like that I don’t have to limit as much as fruit.
(As I finished writing this, August binkied across the living room and flopped. I guess she is excited about having healthy treat options!)
