Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 15-20 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes | Makes: 20-24 nibbles

Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cooked rabbit meat, shredded (novel protein that’s gentle on stomachs)
- 1/2 cup fresh carrots, grated (beta-carotene powerhouse)
- 1/2 cup zucchini, finely chopped (keep pieces small!)
- 1/4 cup frozen peas (sweeter than fresh)
- 1/4 cup rolled oats, old-fashioned (binds everything perfectly)
- 1 large egg (the secret binding ingredient)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for that golden finish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper (don’t skip the parchment!).
- In a large bowl, combine shredded rabbit, grated carrots, chopped zucchini, and peas.
- Sprinkle rolled oats over mixture and crack in the egg—mix with your hands for best results.
- Form walnut-sized balls and place on baking sheet with space between each nibble.
- Brush tops lightly with olive oil for that appetizing golden color.
- Bake 15-20 minutes until lightly browned and firm to the touch.
- Cool completely before serving (patience pays off for safety!).
Notes:
- Always let cool completely—hot treats can burn your pup’s mouth
- Amber prefers these at room temperature, but some dogs like them slightly warm
- Mix with your hands for the most evenly distributed ingredients
Storage Tips:
- Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 5 days
- Glass containers work best to prevent odor absorption
- Don’t leave at room temperature—the meat and vegetables spoil quickly
