Cranberries

Rory helped himself to my cranberry juice this morning. His facial expressions were priceless. First the sweet taste then the tart.   After the initial 'Oh, how adorable!' thought I panicked since I was not sure that bunnies could eat cranberries. It is on some lists as a 'yes' and then others that say 'not tolerated'.

So, I ask you Hoppers: Do you give your bunnies cranberries in any form? How do they tolerate it?

Bearing in mind they aren't really a big food in this country our buns don't really get exposed to cranberries. I would say they are not ideal, as with all fruit, due to sugar content.

We love cranberries   

Yep, mine love cranberries too   

I'm not sure if I've even tried a cranberry

Lucky bunnies!

Cranberries are extremely tart and bitter in their natural state. Here cranberries are most often served as a jellied 'sauce' with turkey or in baked goods. And of course as juice...usually blended with a sweet juice or tons of sugar because of it's uber tartness. Do people use the word uber any more?   

I do!

Awwww sweet Rory, would have loved to have seen that.

   

We, very occasionally, get one teeny little dried cranberry - one of the ones which has been dried with no added sugar. Jack goes loopy for them  and they're not nearly as tart as fresh ones.

No, I use the word uber from time to time
