Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal?

[Phinnsmommy]

Can they have it? Its old fashioned oat meal, and you have to cook it for 30 min, but im wondering if they can have it like other oats...

Here it is if you dont know what it is...

I would think it'd be just fine, do the oats look like regular oats? You can give it to them without cooking it. I don't know if they'd even eat it cooked.

Yea, I meant raw

No, they dont look like other oats, heres a close up...

Hmm, they're all thick. But the ingredients are basically the same thing, just different texture. I am not positive you should, let's see what others have to say.

hmm, I give wash the rolled oats, but since it's from the same plant I can't see why it would be a problem...

 

[Phinnsmommy]

Thanks guys! I went ahead and game them a little bit, I dont see why they would be bad.

As long as it doesn't harm them, ill just give them as treats

Don't they use that stuff in granola and granola bars?

I'm sure it's the same - just cut different. I wouldn't give them a ton but yeah, it looks like a wonderful treat for bunnies with good teeth.

Just wanted to give everyone a warning on the oats. If you bunnies inhale their food like Phinn does, watch out. Today he got one up his nose lol! They are very small, so just the right size for that. After some sneezing and trying to get it out he did. Just be careful!

:biggrin2:

:laugh:What a nerd, I'm glad he's ok!

I know right!?

Leave it to Phinn to get food shoved up his nose :headsmack

one of my childhood friends once shoved an M&M far enough up her nose that she needed to go to the hospitle to have it tweezed out at least Phinn had a reason in the first place!

 

[Phinnsmommy]

LOL!

That reminds me of this little boy who shoved one of those cereal mix pieces up his nose, and it was a skull, so when the mom looked up there she saw it looking back at her!

:rofl:

 

[tundrakatiebean]

[AngelnSnuffy]
