One of Casey's favourite things to eat are all the seeds inside a red pepper, she will go at it until she's eaten all of them.  Also so today thanks to wsteinhoff I made some treats, which both Casey and the pups loved. I just baked the pieces in different sizes. In a variation of your recipe, I added a baked sweet potato and brown rice flour and egg with the blueberries and ground flax. They were such a hit, I am going to have to try different ones each week. Thanks for the idea!   |

Great photos!! Cupcake is the same way with those "pepper stumps" as we call them. It is one of her absolute favorite things in the whole world. She will stop anything she is doing to fly back to her station to tear one of those apart, and she isn't done with it until every last seed is removed and chewed up. It's very cute  |

Great pictures. I must get Oscar to eat the red seeds. All other QP's seem to enjoy them so I just have to try harder.

Those are great pictures. The treats look uncannily like something I will be having with dinner tonight. That's it, next time I go shopping I will pick up a few things to try my own hand at something like that.
Julianna, you're not alone. Neither of mine have shown the slightest interest in pepper seeds yet.

I'm glad they liked them. The recipe didn't quite turn out like I had planned, it was more of an experiment but mister picky bird liked them. I hope to have more to post that actually turn out right. I turned the blueberries into a syrup though so the treats were a nice purple color since they seem to like colorful foods.

Thanks guys! I baked the sweet potato, the night before when I was cooking. Then the next day I put it into the blender with fresh blueberries and ground flax and a bit of water so it would chop up. Then I put the mash in the mixing bowl, added an egg and just kept beating in the rice flour until it got to a consistency to roll out. The dog sized part of them I cut like this.  I welcome any any other ideas you guys can come up with that we could try. I figured I could use pumpkin one time to to mix in with it, I always have a bit of a can left after I make cookies. I baked them at 275 for about forty minutes, then turned the oven off and left them inside, they were nice and crunchy. |

Great photos! It looks as though Casey is right-footed.  Bonnie also loves the seeds from 'bell peppers' (here we call them capsicums), particularly the green ones. |

Very observant, yup she is right handed. When we first got her almost exactly nine years ago, her right leg was in a cast, she had been surrendered to the vet to be euthanized as her first owners couldn't afford the surgery to repair her leg. She got used to putting weight on her left leg, while the right was weak and Iearned to be right handed.
Lol Casey loves the red, but isn't a fan of the green pepper seeds... She will nibble on them but not with the same gusto.

Cupcake doesn't like the green pepper seeds either... Haha. She'll eat a few but she doesn't tend to finish off those pepper stumps. If it's a yellow, orange, or red pepper, she finishes the whole thing every time.
