Veggie Spring Mix Dilemma

[daisy406]

Hello! Please if anyone has a suggestion it would help greatly! So as we all know the e-coli outbreak has taken over! This is effected my routine with Daisy quite a bit! I usually buy her a “Veggie Spring Mix” box from the local grocery store. Unfortuently there is romain lettuce in veggie spring mix boxes so they are no longer on sale anymore which is a good thing due to us not wanting to feed her romaine during this outbreak but a bad thing because now I am unsure what to feed her! I have bought now multiple boxes of greens that I know she can eat and made my own veggie box mix but it has cost me SO MUCH MONEY due to buying so many different boxes just to mix them together to create my own. Any suggestions on a better feeding option? What do you all feed your rabbits (veggie based diet only). She has pellets as a lunch every once and awhile if I am going to be late on dinner by a few hours. Please only suggest organic veggies that are rabbit safe! Hope to hear back soon! Thanks everyone!

I usually don’t buy the mixes but just fresh produce! I usually buy cilantro, parsley, green leaf lettuce, red leaf lettuce and will mix something new in almost every time I do my shopping. I have found it is much more cost efficient to just buy the produce and not the prepackaged mixes.

If you buy the box stuff ( I do too) you can get other things like arugula, baby romaine, butter lettuce, red+green leaf, and even baby kale. So your options aren’t limited.

From what I hear, the FDA has isolated the source of the e. Coli infestation (traced to producers in California) and certified that romaine coming from other parts of the country is safe, and that they’ve already cleared restaurants to begin serving romaine again. My understanding is that supermarkets will be able to begin selling romaine lettuce and products containing romaine again after December 3rd (Monday).
