When everything collapses, finding food becomes a real challenge. Shops are shut down. There’s no more stuff being moved around, and what we had stored up is getting low. That’s when folks start to look to the wild – hunting, fishing, farming, and foraging to make ends meet. While we focus a lot on feeding ourselves and our families, our pets’ needs might slip our mind.
Pets come in all shapes and sizes. We’ve got dogs, cats, and birds, sure. But let’s not forget about the turtles, frogs, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits, chameleons, snakes, and even fish that some families have. We’re used to just popping by the pet store, grabbing a big bag of pet food, and we’re set for weeks. But what happens when those trips aren’t an option anymore?
Some Obvious Solutions
We usually try not to give our pets leftovers. But when there’s a breakdown of everything, we might not have a choice. Table scraps could become the go-to for feeding some of our pets at first. However, scraps won’t work for everyone in the long run. Pets like birds, frogs, and small critters such as hamsters and gerbils need different foods that scraps can’t always provide.
That’s where getting your hands dirty and foraging comes into play. It can be a straightforward way to find what you need to keep all your furry, feathered, or scaly friends happy and healthy.
