First time homemade treats

[daphnephoebe]

I had a go at making home made treats today.

They're made from science selective dust (bottom of bag), hay dust (small handfull) & Ellas Kitchen baby food.

Three hours worth of baking and the bunnies (and gerbil) love them

Phoebe spent a while running around the front room trying to find the perfect place to sit and eat it away from Daphne.

They keep coming back searching for more

Excellent idea x

lovely photos of your girls as always. I've not made mine treats in months. I like your shapes. Do you have to roll it out? Mine goes too sticky and I have to squash balls of it, they look like uneaten cecos :lol:

 

[daphnephoebe]

I can roll it out and cut with a fondant cutter.
It was slightly messy, I ended up using my hands to flatten it so I could cut it

Look fab! And glad the girls (and gerbil) liked them. I should really have a go at these x

Are they baked?

They look lovely :thumb: 3 hours of baking was worth it :thumb: what temperature did you bake them at please? I'm thinking Boots and Pumpkin and Pickle the Pygmy goats would like them :thumb:

I used a fan assist oven (pain in backside to bake with). They were on 130degc for 1 hour then around 90degc for 2 hours. After then turn the oven off and allow them to cool inside to oven to help ensure the inside of the treats are dry.
If they're not completely cooked in the middle they become mouldy in a couple days.

So sorry I missed you said they *were* baked! Probably because I was half baked after working 15 hours no break :lol:

15 hours! Was that a double shift? I hope you are able to take it easier today

Sadly not! Thank you

However, I am almost comatose today :lol:

 

[daphnephoebe]

I don't miss my long hours at all.
Hope you can rest up while comatose x

I'm working on drying apple in the oven now. Not sure how well that will go but we'll see. Home grown apple which taste brilliant. If they dry well this time will try adding some herbs to them next time.

Actually you've given me an idea as to what to do with my glut of apples .. I've made some chutney, juiced some and eaten some. I think I may try dehydrating some

If you do it in the oven, be careful you don't cut too thin... it'll stick to the tray/nonstick paper if too thin.... half of mine is going in the bin hehe

MM will get her food dehydrator out no doubt I got one for Christmas but I'm a little too impatient. I do use it for their treats though & to kick start plantain & geranium.

Wish I had one. Would make drying bunny fruit so much easier.

Not going to be much apple left for bunnies - me and OH have been eating them. Incredibly sweet.

I am such a sheep. I had to copy & make treats last night & now I want to dry apples. Does it matter which type or are any good for drying ? I'm thinking they would make nice energy snacks I'm sure J B & M would help out
