There are no (good) lab blocks in my area, nor will my mom let me buy off the internet.

So I decided to make my own. lol.

I blended up some veggies (two leaves romaine lettuce, bunch of broccoli, baby carrot) and an egg, and I mixed some dry ingredients (flour, oatmeal, baking soda, baking powder) and I mixed it all together and kneaded it. (man, was it was sticky! Took lotsa flour!) Then I cut them, covered them with egg white and baked.

The end result is...ummm...interesting. They smell like rotten corn lol. My friend tried one and she said they were discusting. I even had some and yup, pretty darn gross. But the rats love them! They are very crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yummy for them I suppose. Icarus even tried to grab one away with his paws. Yeah right, not without a trick! :D

I'm very proud of this creation lol. My next step is to freeze them so they don't go bad. :)

Haha, that got a chuckle out of me! :D


WolfSoul, funny you posted this today as I am cooking dog biscutes right now for the rats and Morgan lol. I don't think I will be brave enough to taste them though. I would assume Morgans will taste like burnt peanut butter, as they contain peanut butter and carob chips......but still, not that brave lol.


I bet they taste yummy, they sound very healthy too. May I request more pics of your furry gang? ;)

Hehe, i'm getting alot of picture requests lately -- I'll have to bring out the camera. :)

The rats just love these things! I freeze them first, so they are very hard to chew on. Even timber had troubles, so now she just swallows them whole :rolleyes:
