That's the going rate for a good place.
It does depend on where you are in the country and London/Down South rates do tend to be considerably higher than up north. We charge £5 a night for a bonded pair and that includes all food, hay, veg, bedding etc but it doesn't mean the care they receive is any less than one who charges more elsewhere.

:wave:In my opinion, and it is only an opinion, the organisations that provide bunny boarding should charge the commercial rate for the services they provide.
If sanctuaries decide to charge less then they are, of course, free to make that decision. However, they might be losing out on a valuable source of revenue that they could use for the sanctuary that they would have to make up in other ways.
I believe that some of the rescues also provide boarding facilities if they have spaces and are not full to bursting with rescue buns. Perhaps some of these RU members could comment on whether it's a valuable source of income for them.
I assume that people who provide cat and dog boarding charge commercial rates.
As I said, only an opinion, not a comment on the people who provide this valuable service.
You've got a very good point there. I charge less than most places, for several reasons, 1. because I can only take in piggies and the smaller rabbits and 2. having a boarder here is not much more work than my own lots.
For me personally I'd rather know that a set of bunnies that might have been left alone if the owners had been charged more are getting looked after with me.
Mine go over to Sue at Southampton Rabbit Rescue but I can't remember what the daily rate is
I know your local to me Emma, and if its the bunnery your talking about then its well worth the price. My buns go there, Jo is fab with the bunnies. I wouldnt send my bunnies anywhere else tbh I pay £15 a night as mine are giants xXx
