A Possible Treat???

[SunnieBunnie Rabbitry]

What are your thoughts on Dried Cranberries as anextra treat this winter?

My forever loving,generous,thoughtfulGrandmother decided tooverload me withTONS of dried Cranberries this year. I can't seem to pawnthem off to anyone else (she's been generous to the wholefamily...lol.), and I would hate to see them go to waste. Ihave already put some in the freezer for next year (and probably theyear after :shock but I still havequite a bitleft. It got me thinking - How would the buns like a littleextra something special this season? Obviously I'm not goingto just fill their feed bowls with them - I'm talking maybe a pinch perrabbit, 'bout 2-4 berries each once a week,maybe twicea week but doubtful.

I tried looking on various websites andsuch trying to find at least a referrance to rabbits and Cranberries,but as of yet, I've had no luck. I don't want to start givingthem any without researching and getting opinions first.

Lookingforward to your responses!

Hi Sunnie,

I've offered my rabbits fresh cranberries and none of them went for it. I was surprised, actually.

Don't know how they'd take to dried, but I also haven't found anything that said they'd be bad for them.

P.S.

Personally, I love a bit of dried cranberries sprinkled in a salad.

Mr. Peabody just loves crasins. He grabs the bag right out of his box when I'm cleaning the cage.
