Instructions

    • 1

      Use only fresh, whole vegetables, fruits and grains to make rabbit treats.

    • 2

      Stay away from fatty or sugary treats and processed cereals. Rabbits like them, but they aren't nutritious and may even harm your rabbit's health.

    • 3

      Give your rabbit a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits as treats. Take a cabbage leaf and place a handful of whole baby carrots, grapes, cherries and blueberries on it--your rabbit will hop up and down for this.

    • 4

      Bake some rabbit cookies by placing two small carrots and a banana in a blender. Process on "puree" until very smooth. Add a half-cup of rolled oats, ground fine in a coffee grinder and a half cup of whatever rabbit pellets you are feeding. Blend until smooth and roll out between two pieces of waxed paper, then cut into small cookies.

    • 5

      Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and place the unbaked rabbit cookies on the sheet.

    • 6

      Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and place the cookies in the oven. Turn oven off after 30 minutes and let the cookies remain in the oven until cool.

    • 7

      Add the cooled cookies to your pet rabbit's diet sparingly. Hold them up and teach them to do tricks to get the cookies.
