Judge 1: what a brilliant and creative idea to use the edible treats as hanging treat toys for more fun, reminded me of a tropical feel but also Christmassy. Add on the extra bonus of giving the remainder to the RSPCA lovely gesture
Judge 2: I really love the presentation and how it is also fun.
Judge 3: lots of enrichment and interesting for bunnies. Lovey festive theme...
Judge 4:
Presentation: I love the kebab effect and how the treats have been strung, it looks colourful and very tasty even to a human.
Ingredients: I love the variety of ingredients used. There are some great calcium sources in there from the broccoli and the green beans. Carrot and coriander is always a winning combination too. The banana and blueberry stars sound delicious, like sweet but slightly tangy combination to really get the taste buds going.
Taste: Given your bunnie’s reaction, it sounds like you are on to a winner :thumb:
Creativity: I love the shapes and colours of your treat strand. I think hanging it on a string means the rabbits have to work that bit harder to get at it and that is a good thing. I also love the fact you used herbs, fruit and vegetables in addition to oats and pellets. It sounds like a fantastic food combo for underweight, elderly rabbits or rabbits living outdoors in winter too.
Well done

Judge 1: sounds very tasty, and I think my rabbits mouth would water to. I like how they are displayed as carrots and apples, you could even do the apples into Christmas puddings for xmas treats
Judge 2: I like the apple shaped ones that look like apples, very clever!
Judge 3: A festive treat for bunnies
Judge 4:
Presentation: I love how you have shaped these treats into carrots and apples. It looks very professional. The rosemary and mint sprigs on top are really inspired.
Ingredients: I like the use of traditional ingredients and the grated carrot sounds like a nice addition that would blend well.
Taste: Given your bunnie’s reaction, it sounds like you are on to a winner :thumb:
Creativity: I love the shapes and general look of your treats. They look cute, tasty and easy to eat which is always important for bunnies.

Judge 1: I like how you have used ingredients that most bunnies would love, sometimes even the simpliest of things are the tastiest x
Judge 2: Wow, it looked like the bunnies loved them!
Judge 3: A good effort .. Looks appealing to bunnehs.. Perhaps not too bunneh mummehs?
Judge 4:
Presentation: I like the rustic quality, it looks organic and it is nice to see different colours in amongst the green.
Ingredients: I like the combination of firm favourites such as the carrot and banana but you have also added an interesting twist in the form of cranberry. That will give it a nice sweet edge. Fibafirst will also be great for the fibre source of course!
Taste: Have to agree with your bunnies, it looks like they loved the treats but you made a grave error by not including the fenugreek crunchies :lol:
Creativity: I Like the combination of ingredients used and the coarse looking texture of the treats. I can imagine the bunnies will have to work their teeth hard on those which is fab for keeping them worn down.

Judge 1: these would make great treats for bunnies in need of extra nutrients, ie, the alfalfa being used, I know Julie will benefit for your imaginative thought of best foods for her, and many RUers with bunnies who are in need of tempting to eat im sure they would be good.. Glad Julie enjoyed them
Judge 2: I love how they resemble cakes with the decoration!
Judge 3: Nom nom nom...
Judge 4:
Presentation: These treats look very fibre rich given the green colour and the dried apple on top gives them the look of Florentines, very yummy.
Ingredients: I love the amount and variety of hays used. Those are really great sources for fibre and calcium. Oats and banana are classic choices and I can imagine the apple juice will give it some zing!
Taste: Julie looks to be enjoying those treats very much!
Creativity: It is clear to see how much thought you put into the ingredients and also the taste. These yummy looking treats will probably taste delicious and be very filling. Lucky Julie.

Judge 1: may be simple but to a rabbit the forage idea is fabulous, gives them something to think about, and keeps them occupied, fun and tasty
Judge 2: I like the idea of the long lengths of hay used! Very good for bunnies!
Judge 3: Nommy for bunnehs...
Judge 4:
Presentation: Again I like the rustic quality, these look like hay biscuits that hold a surprise which must be pleasant for the Lopsy.
Ingredients: I love the use of rose petals, how original and of course not many people know rose petals are edible for rabbits so well done using something unusual. Banana and hay ends are great choices representing both the healthy and the sweet option.
Taste: Obviously I have to agree with Lopsy. It is very interesting about the treats maturing, a point I had not considered before. Clearly Lopsy has gourmet tastes though :thumb:
Creativity: I think you have winning combination of simplicity and rustic here but with just a hint of the exotic. How tantalizing for the tastebuds.

Judge 1: they sound lovely, and I am sure my rabbit would love to get a taste of these treats
Judge 2: Very neat! And they look like they went down a treat!
Judge 3: Look nice and colourful... Yummy!
Judge 4:
Presentation: These look very neat and colourful and best of all crunchy!
Ingredients: There is a good amount of filling and flavoursome ingredients here but not too many so as to distract the taste buds. And the crunch factor from the pellets and oats will make them all the more appealing.
Taste: I think we will go with Treacle’s judgement. Toffee not liking banana is unusual for a bunny but I am sure that minus the banana, he would have gobbled them up.
Creativity: You have variety of flavour and colour here as well as easy to eat shapes and a texture which is great for rabbits.

Judge 1: I love how they are displayed, like a bunny going to a dine out restaurant, the use of ingredients goes well, they do sound very tasty
Judge 2: I love the creativity used, bunny sushi is amazing! Combining fresh but baked treats is brill!
Judge 3: For bunnehs who have discerning, trendy palates
Judge 4:
Presentation: This is very unusual and the concept of sushi is fantastic like having an edible present wrapped in edible wrapping paper. How intriguing for the bunnies.
Ingredients: There is a good sweet versus healthy combo of ingredients here which is always sure to be a favourite. The wrappings are very interesting and exotic choices too. I had no idea kiwi could be eaten by rabbits.
Taste: Lilly sounds like a connoisseur albeit a sleepy one :lol:
Creativity: This is a very creative entry; you have gone to great lengths to make this treat interesting, appealing and intriguing. I can imagine Lilly’s curiosity was very much aroused by the unusual presentation and combination of smells and flavours.
Phew, all added up! That was very close. The top three are...
