With the volcano cloud that's coming over the UK, anyone else looking to bring their bunnies in if it sinks to ground level? http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jh7lQ-qBxQMPzPd3Iap7_s3YDBfQD9F3D0MG0

Mine are inside anyway, but would be interesting to see what other plans people have!
That's lucky vee-jay.
They were talking about it descending, in which case that, in my eyes, would be a problem for my bunnies because of things like the grittiness and how it can affect lungs. I'm in the South East UK so it may come down around us somewhere. If it stays in the air then its all good.

They are stopping flights between midday and 6pm tonight as that is when they have estimated the ash clouds will be crossing the UK.
The concern is whilst the planes are in the sky the ash could be pulled into the engines and cause problems and engine failure so we are all fine down on the ground.
It 's unlikely that it will come down to ground level.

I've heard on the news this morning that it will not descend low enough in the UK to affect people & animals unless it rains.......but they neglected to exand on exactly what would happen or what to do if it rained :?
Listening to a specialist they were talking to on This Morning (I know :lol
, he said it is a real possibility, so whilst right now its in the air, it may not stay there.

It's in the upper atmosphere so you won't see it
They were saying about staying in and keeping windows closed and such, and about how it will be potentially problematical for people with asthma. So I have no idea how much of a genuine risk this could be to bunnies/animals in general but definitely those with respiratory issues may have a problem. My thinking was that their respiratory systems are pretty fragile and small so would be harder hit than people's lungs. No one on any news has said anything about bringing animals or anything inside yet, and I would presume they would if it came to that.
Its all a bit 'this might happen' type thing, which doesn't help very much :lol:

I guess it depends what the ash is made of, if its silicious you would think it could be dangerous to inhale it because of silicosis (similar to asbestosis). But we've had a few clouds of Sahara dust land on us in the last few years that would have been similar, did everyone have their buns in for that, were there any problems?
Think they said it was about 6km to 8km up in the atmosphere hence why its affecting planes. Hopefully the sun will keep shinning and the wind will blow it elsewhere!
