How To Make A Healthy Fenugreek And Banana Treat For Rabbits
If you haven’t heard,
word has it that Rabbits go crazy over fenugreek, and this ingredient is also
amongst one of the top few to be included in Bunny treats. On top of it all, it
boasts health benefits such as Diabetes and Liver protection for your bunnies. Making
treats for your Pets is not only satisfying, you can be rest assured that no
harmful additives are in those treats.
What is Fenugreek, you ask? Fenugreek
is an all-natural herb plant whereby stems, seeds and leaves are all edible
food sources when extracted. Most commonly known as a supplement (in tablet forms) to help Mothers increase
their production of breast milk. It is also a popular ingredient amongst the
Indian community. You can find Fenugreek at Mustafa, an Indian minimart, and most
Spice stores.
Fenugreek And Banana Homemade Rabbit Treats
The following recipe
and pictures were from TheRabbitHouse.com, both recipe and photographs are by Tamsin, a huge Rabbit enthusiast, whom also
runs an active Rabbit rescue site in the UK. This is a delectable recipe we
think is perfect for all Bun pawrents to try out! Bear in mind that treats are
not meant to substitute meals, and should only be fed with absolute moderation.
Ingredients
2 small Bananas
1 tblspoon Fenugreek
2 handfuls Rolled
porridge Oats
1 handful dry Rabbit
food (pellets)
a splash of water
Directions
1. Add fenugreek,
porridge oats and banana to a mixing bowl.
2. Collect dust from
bottom of rabbit food bag/tub, decide there isn’t quite enough and smush some pellets up to make more.
3. Mix together,
adding a splash of water if necessary until it binds together.
4. Put some grease
proof paper on a baking tray (the dabs of oil at the corners are underneath to
stop the paper rolling up).
5. Break off sections
of the mix and roll it between your palms to make a ball.
6. Place the balls on
the baking tray and flatten.
7. Place the baking
tray in the oven, we tried using the left over heat after cooking a meal but it
needed a little longer to dry out completely, so a low heat e.g. 150 Degree
Celsius for 30-60 minutes and just keep an eye should do it.
