BUNNEH'S BUNNY RABBIT TREATS

Steps:

• Mix pureed carrot, mashed banana and honey in a medium bowl.
• Add ground pellets and ground oats. Mix until blended.

• Turn off the oven, leaving the cookie sheet in the oven for another hour until the treats dry to crispness.

• Break the tiles apart - easy! - and store in a zip lock bag in the fridge.
• Give one to your bunny on each day that he/she is adorable. (That's every day, of course!).
