Pet Forum / Mammals / Rabbits / July 2008Do the Math!
We are overrun with carrots! We have carrots growing little root hairs in our refrigerator. Our vegetable drawers won't open or close, because they are so full of carrots. We have 4 rabbits (BTW, happy 5th birthday, Orpheus and Eurydice!) Each morning, every rabbit here gets a carrot top, with a small piece of carrot root attached. 4 x 30 days (1 month) = ?????? (A LOT of carrots!) We juice 'em, we slice and simmer them. We eat them raw. We are beginning to turn orange!!!! Nona > We are overrun with carrots! I'm an easy month away from a carrot harvest. I just pulled all the bolting radishes and dumped them into the compost pile, though. I've never tried, do they like radishes?  SignatureWoodworking links and more at http://www.woodenwabbits.com -------------- I kill all messages from Google Groups. See http://improve-usenet.org for details. Mine do, top and root!

I've never tried, do they like radishes? > I've never tried, do they like radishes? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mine *love* radishes! At first, I was nervous that they might make them gassy. (Now why would I possibly think *that*???) And at first, they were a bit leery of the root part, but they adored the leaves. Now they go for the root enthusiastically, too. They seem to like the "bite." Nona Mine love radishes, I grow them just for the bunnies, they especially like the hot white variety. SignatureHazel,Dylan,Zebedee & Molko.

I have to say, I'm not very fond of carrots, except perhaps in carrot cake. :) SignatureGod Bless, Arlette, Cocoa & Brownie in heaven (See us here) http://www.flickr.com/photos/11393346@N02/ Need a vet?

Carrot cake is the best! That cream cheese frosting! I have a recipe that incorporates pineapple, and it is too yummy. Carrot cake doesn't really use all that many carrots, though. : ( Nona Carrot soup: 1 kilo carrots 4 potatoes 1 onion 1 clove of garlic 1 liter of vegetablestock pepper, seasalt 1 cup of sour cream Cut the carrots in pieces and fry them with the garlic and the onion and the diced potatoes in some oil or butter. Add a liter of vegetablestock. Leave to simmer for 20 minutes. When soft, add pepper and salt. Blend the lot and serve with a dollop of sour cream. Enjou!

Very similar to the recipe I've used! Bottom line is when you have 120 carrots a month in the house, it's hard to consume them all. Juicing is the most efficient and appealing answer that we've come up with. The question "Would you like some carrot juice?" is starting to provoke laughter around here, though. Ok, I'll be requesting this cake for my visit :) Ray loves carrot cake too! SignatureGod Bless, Arlette, Cocoa & Brownie in heaven (See us here) http://www.flickr.com/photos/11393346@N02/ Need a vet?

I used to take excess carrots to a senior citizen residence where my mom lived; I would slice and cook them first.

Baby carrots at my house. Louise goes nuts in the morning until she gets hers. And she gets all the buns going. 6:30 AM is carrot time!
