Hi everyone! Still a newbie here but my friend makes vegan pet treats and I suggested that she makes rabbit ones too (she currently only does dog and cat!) I've suggested some options but is there a definitive list of what rabbits can and can't have that I could pass on to her? Thanks in advance

most herbs are good, if using 'human' ingredients rather than forage ones she needs to avoid onion and garlic and chives.

I've a recipe I used here: http://www.therabbithouse.com/blog/2011/11/16/homemade-rabbit-treats/

I think there are a few different recipes on the forum too if you have a search

Something sticky like banana or grated apple helps bind them together when cooked.

Dried herbs always seem to go down well. Try to avoid using too many sugary things though. Also, a decent dose of dandelion leaves seems to make for a good snack.
