Really running short of hay due to snow - anyone any ideas in Sth Yorkshire area pls?

Due to the snow we can't get off car off our road & we're more than likely going to run out of hay in the next few days :( I can't see us being able to get off our road in the next week tbh as we've had about 2ft :evil:

With 29 bunnies, we use on average about 3 bales of hay a week - but normally have to fetch it one bale at a time, due to not being able to store it :?

I am going to ring our local farmer tomorrow to see if he is able to deliver us 3 bales - but I'm not holding out much hope as normally he will only deliver 30+ at a time!!

I've phoned the dust free hay company & at £27.99 a bale, we're looking at about £84 for 3 bales! :shock: That is if the courier can actually get up our road! :roll:

Anyone know any farmers in the South Yorkshire area that would consider delivering a few bales & has a 4 x 4 to get up our road? I'm more than happy to pay delivery, but would like to avoid paying £84 for 3 bales of hay!!

On top of running short of hay - Mark rang me at work to say the aviary roof is collapsing under the weight of the snow!!! :( Looks like that will need rebuilding in the spring before the bunnies can move back in :?

I'm just thankful we've brought all the bunnies inside for winter & there are none living in there.

I'm so naffed off it's unbelievable!!!! :?
 
Animal Magic are quite close to you I think - maybe give Lynne a ring and see if she's able to get deliveries out at the moment? :)

Thanks Sarah - I did think of Lynne, but I know she was having courier problems the other day because of the weather :( I don't think a normal courier would get up our road without getting stuck & would stuggle to get off again :(

We live at the top of a hill - so it really needs to be someone with a 4 x 4 as a minimum :(

How stressful! Hope you get something sorted, or even better the show melts!!
 
Same problem here!
i placed an order on Animal Magic Pet Supplies whichh is based in yorkshire, and the bunba's have been waiting for days now! i think i might have to resort to PAH.

We have a couple of PAH near us, but again we can't get the car off the road to get there & it's too far to walk back laden up with loads of them :(

Would you like me to come up and bring you some?

Bless you Theo, thanks you that's a very generous offer, but honestly I couldn't let you do that. It would take you hours to get to us & our road is a nightmare - hence we can't move our own car :(

Anyone else got any ideas please as to how we might be able to get a supply of hay? :wave:

I feel a bit helpless at the moment :(
 
Sorry can't offer any advice as mine would have been DFH. Good luck with the calls and I really hope you get some hay asap xxx
