How long can these keep out of the freezer?
Hello Unicorn!
It depends … how chewy/dry they’re baked, humidity, etc.. Usually a couple days.
How long can it keep in the freezer, I only have one cat
They’ll keep in a freezer bag or container for at least 3 months.
How long do you put them in the oven for a dryer texture? I got a 10 week old kitten
Hi Reiley – It depends a little on how thick and large you make them. I’d let them cook just a couple extra minutes and check them. Then you can repeat as needed. They will firm up a bit more during the cooling process.
