I have been a bit concerned about having enough rabbit food this Christmas. I know some may say I can buy bulk loads online but with the way the postal service is right now I'll be lucky to get them. I've still got parcels from 3 weeks ago I've still not received. I'm not buying anything online for a good while.
I normally buy from Sainsburys and I don't mind it costing a bit more because if my bunnies are happy then its all good and they love the Sainburys stuff the best. Its those minted pellets although my local pet shop also sells them I tend not to buy from him because his pet food always seems to have mill moths inside and they are a pain to get rid off but is still an option to fall back on.
Sainsburys only put out 3 bags at a time they are only 2kg so I need more because 3 rabbits get through it pretty quickly I'm gonna need about 12 bags maybe extra on top of that to see me into the new year.
There is Wilko but my bunnies wont eat there bunny food plus I think much of there bunny food isn't all that healthy, they do the fruity bunny mix and the veg mix then they sell the plain pellets. I sometimes give them a bit of the fruity and veg mix but in moderation with there pellet food. They also get a bit of fresh veg sometimes. They have plenty of hay. They will not eat the Wilko branded pellets.
I stocked up on hay just after summer so I have plenty of it to last me for a while.
I'm concerned I might not be able to get enough bags of rabbit food from Sainsbury and there is no guarantee the pet shop would have any in stock.
OK scenario 1... Lets say I run out of bunny food and Sainsbury only have one or two bags on there shelf. Can I feed them on alternatives like guinea pig food because they have plenty of that? Wilko don't always have bunny food and when they do its the fruit/veg mix stuff or the pellets they don't eat.
I thought about oatmeal but they might not eat much of it or they could get fat from it from what I have read about feeding rabbits oatmeal.
What would you do?
