OMG no gp food

[daleksarah]

i braved the shops today,only because i used up the last gp and rabbit food today(i wouldnt have gone if i wasnt desperate),i fell on my bum as well 8... the pavements really are lethal,just pure ice and the roads arent much better.But i couldnt believe it Wilkinsons had NO Guinea pig food at all and just their own deluxe rabbit food 8... No hay either!i got the "deluxe" rabbit food as I'm hopeful its tasty stuff,had to search other shops (our shopping centre is rubbish)i managed to get a bag of crap gp food from home bargains,to be honest i would never buy it if i wasnt desperate.There are no pet shops near by and asda is that bit to far to attempt to get to with the state of the pavements! I feel such a bad piggie mum as its unlikely i can get any decent piggie food until monday,thats if kids are back to school and i can get upto asda. I'm going to mix the crap gp food with the so called deluxe rabbit food and hope that will be ok for them for a few days.the hay i have should just about do,but they will be on rations.
i have got veggies in for them so they wont starve they have carrots,cucumber,green beans,lettuce (the only veggies fussy bums Mac and Rascal will eat) but i feel so mean giving them crap piggie food 8...

is it possible asda would deliver your food? aslong as they have hay and fresh veg i am sure they will be fine! You are a good piggy mummy if you weren't you would not have tried!

obviously the piggies who run this forum see it as so much of an emergency they must double post it

if you are desperate you can give bun pellets to your pigs short term but increase the amount of vit c in there veg diet as the bun food as you know doesnt have nearly enough, apart from that the foods arent to much different,i would never actually recommend feeding wrong specied food although my pigs are currently on oxbow bunny basics until this week as my vet ran out of all gp food and the only other piggy food around here is horrible quality.
My piggy smart vet gave me the ok to feed the bun food short term,its also higher is fat as you many know so ive been giving my pigs about 20g per pig each day rather than the usual 40-50g and they are staying a steady weight.So if you are to feed them bun food short term its best to be a high quality one goodluck xx

AWW Hun you tried! I'm so lucky to live within a mile of asda and major motorways as I can get everything but I really feel for everyone here who can't.

Hope the snow this time is less and we can all get back to normal, this whole shortage stuff is rubbish!
