Paid Holiday in Lovely Cambridge??? Anyone?

parsnipbun

Wise Old Thumper
We would like to go away for a few days (5-6) at some time in September - pref first week but could be flexible.

We need someone to come and stay and look after our 16 buns, 4 hens, 2 tortoises, and cat. (and 4 pond fish).

We live in a 3 bed house about 15 mins cycle or bus ride from the centre of historic Cambridge. We live 5 mins walk from the lovely river and 2 mins from local swimming pool etc etc.

We need live-in as we have 4 housebuns as well as the outdoor buns and we need the outdoor buns to be let out onto lawn in turns and hens to be fed etc. However I would expect that you would get all afternoon 'off' to do as liked .

None of the buns have on-going illnesses or special needs (one is blind but it doesn't affect him).

Our long-term friend/lodger may be around in the evening on some of the days and if he does not come away with us will he here at night. He is easy to get on with.

You would have full use of all the house, a lovely room overlooking garden etc etc. Wifi, tv, dvds etc food left for you, etc

We are prepared to pay well for the right person - but you MUST have bunny experience and be able to spot a 'quiet' bun at 50 paces.

Specialist vet available in emergency, and also a carer who is used to my buns can pop in every other day if wanted and be 'on call'.

Any takers????? PM me.

PS Oh yes and you can have the loan of a bike, and also we have a shed you could pop your own bun in or a large dog crate in your bedroom. (cannot come downstairs as our own housebuns there).
 
is there space to bring along my own buns (3 2 in a pair and 1 singular) plus v3 hamsters? im considering it need to speak to oh though but may be able to help if my bunnys can come hamsters arent so big an issue as i can sort them out through friends... x

As you can imagine the lawn is pretty full (!!) but you could certainly use a large dog crate in the large bedroom - you can just fit in one of our 4ft ones) and give them free time out of it in the bedroom (watch the soft furnishings though!!! lol) also the shed which we can clear out.

Hamsters I am not an expert on . . not sure what space they need!

If you like o/h can come too!

i will speak to him tonight or tomorrow see what he thinks if you get someeone in the mean time though take the chance! :) id like to not sure how keen he will be as though he loves our pets he thinks mine is a zoo!! hamsteers have their own cages which are tall but not hugely wide think underbed storage boxes. they get free run time out in an indoor run i can collapse so no worrys they are very well behaved and easyto keep lol. its more the buns i was thinking of!! i will get back to you on it. x
 
bumpity bump - just in case it wasn't obvious we are paying !!!

Just in case it got 'lost' we will of course pay!! :D

16 lovely rabbits here just hoping someone will come and look after them:wave::wave:
 
Hope you get something sorted! If I wasn't starting my new job that week I would have jumped at the chance... I wouldn't have wanted paying either, it would just have been a nice change of scenery :lol:
