1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper—essential for perfect spheres.
2. Gently combine ground rabbit with chopped carrots, mashed peas, parsley, and cooked quinoa.
3. Add egg and mix until everything holds together without overworking the meat.
4. Roll into 1-inch diameter balls using your hands (if your pup can wait that long).
5. Place on prepared baking sheet with even spacing for consistent cooking.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and lightly golden outside.
7. Cool completely before serving—these premium balls retain heat longer than simple treats!

Notes:

• Always let cool completely for safe serving and best texture development
• Amber prefers these slightly crispy outside with tender, flavorful centers
• If mixture seems too wet, add oat flour gradually; too gamey, mix with ground turkey

Storage Tips:

• Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days in airtight containers
• Freeze individually for up to 3 months—perfect for hypoallergenic meal planning
• Game meat needs careful storage, so use within recommended timeframes
