Method 2 of 3: Fresh Food Treats

Take a handful of cornflakes, a handful of sunflower seeds, some rabbit food pellets, and a handful of oats. Mix the ingredients and serve this treat to the bunny.

Method 3 of 3: Precautions

1. 1 Remember to wash your vegetables and fruits. Even if you are purchasing any fruits and vegetables specifically for your rabbit, be sure to rinse them under running water before using them in various recipes. The rabbit must not be allowed to eat any pesticides or other potentially hazardous substances with the food.
2. 2 Never add sugar to a treat. The sugar in rabbit treats can lead to dental problems and obesity in your pet.If you want to sweeten a treat, use fruit or the natural sugars found in honey, but do so in moderation and only occasionally. Avoid recipes that involve dipping treats in sweetened yogurt. Although your rabbit will love to eat sweets, too much sugar can affect its health.
3. 3 Do not overfeed your rabbit with treats. Treats should not be used as a substitute for healthy pellets. Do not indulge your pet with treats too often, and do so in moderation. Offer him to eat only one or two bites at a time, and put the rest in the refrigerator for later use.
