Hey everyone.
Just looking for a bit of advice. Obviously we all know the situation at the moment. Our town hasn't had anything confirmed yet but we've had at 11 cases in the surrounding area. Whilst I'm not worried for myself my brother is on medication that intentionally suppresses his immune system and my Mum has severe problems that would make this virus extremely dangerous for her (sleep apnoea, asthma, kidney damage from an old infection etc). As a result we're trying to stay away from public places as much as possible. The bunnies are going to be out of veg in a day or two and I can't get a delivery until mid week next week, and if things get worse (especially with the panic buying at the moment) it might be they end up without store-bought veg for days or even weeks at a time (again, looking at worst case).
How safe is this for bunnies? Especially bunnies prone to stasis? We've just had Pinot bounce back from it and Jazzie has had several episodes recently.
Foraging isn't possible except in the back garden, which obviously isn't plentiful this time of year. We're growing seeds but it's going to take time.
I'm more trying to plan ahead than anything but just looking for thoughts? Will a diet of hay and small amounts of pellets (fibafirst) be enough if the worst happens and I'm unable to get veg from stores? We do have grass but no run at the moment to put them outside. I can cut some but it's quite short.
I was thinking of ordering some dried forage like ribwort, dandelion etc from Zooplus. With that added in would that make a suitable (while not ideal) diet? What else could I do?
Probably sounds extreme but I'm just trying to prepare for a worst case scenario to make sure the buns are catered for. I'd rather be too cautious but prepared than not.
Thanks xx
