New Cookie Recipe for Rabbits

[Doe of Chai]

 After reading some forums, I became motivated to do some baking and came up with a recipe for Chai. I didn’t know what she would think, due to she is an extremely picky eater. As soon as I gave her one of these cookies, it was quickly gone. If you try the recipe, please let me know what your rabbit thinks – even if it is a very hard angry thump.

I would probably shrink this recipe in the future since it made a ton of cookies; but you can always freeze them.

Ingredients

398 ml/14 oz can of pineapple

2 cups Red River Cereal

1 cup carrot

1/2 cup cucumber

1 cup oats.

 

Instructions 

~ Take a 398 ml / 14 oz can of pineapple and dump its liquid contents into 2 cups of Red River Cereal. Add 1 cup of water to the mixture. Place in microwave and heat for 5 minutes.

~ Take Pineapples and either chop or blend into a puree. Dump into cereal mixture and mix.

~ Take 1 cup of either chopped or pureed carrots and add to mix.

~ Take 1/2 cup chopped or pureed cucumber and add to mix.

~ Your mix should be clingy to itself. Add hot water if it is not and allow it to sit to soak. This will be approximately 15 – 30 minutes.

~ Add 1 cup of oats (check to make sure there is no additives).

~ Mix everything really well.

~ Heat oven to 325 degrees F.

~ Use corn oil or Pam and very lightly grease the baking sheet.

~ Use two teaspoons to scoop small lumps of mix onto the baking sheet. Tap into a shape.

~ Bake for 1/2 hour and allow to cool.

Welcome – you are very creative to come up with your own recipe! I admit though I had no idea what the Red River Cereal was, had to look that up. It must only be sold mainly in Canada.

Nice, I tried eating Red River for breakfast and i felt like a bird LOL… it’s very grainy/seedy LOL. What a good use for it, I bet my buns would like it. My only concern would be the seeds/grains causing constipation? I just remember when my lop got into the hamster food, and someone mentioning to me that it may make him consipated.

I helped a freind develop a dog biscuit recipe, i suggested canned pumpkin since my dog stole my rabbits all the time, and the cookies were a great hit!

So far the the floor looks just as badly covered with marbles as it has before and I think the rough milled grains are probably good for her teeth. I have to agree with you Andi that the cereal makes you feel like you are eating bird seed. It only ever comes out when I get on some healthy food kick, but it quickly gets stored to the back depths of the cupboard within a week.
