Here we go again with 'how do we go on holiday'???

parsnipbun

Wise Old Thumper
Ok - last year we managed to get a vet student who was specialising in buns to come and supposedly look after the buns while we had a week off - in fact Viola Rose came down with myxi the day the student arrived and we all stayed and nursed her and looked after the others . . so no holiday (but success for VR as she pulled through:D:D:D).

THIS year the vet student we had last year won't be around and as last year we found it REALLY difficult to find one that knew anything about buns (one student cheerfully remarked she could brush them daily and clip their nails - NONE of mine have EVER had their nail clipped or needed it and most would expire from shock at the sight of a brush!!) . . but we would really really really like a week away. . . or even 5 days . . .

Does ANYONE with LOTS of rabbit experience want to come and live in Cambridge for 10 days and get PAID for it??? some time over this summer.

Just the small matter of 18 buns to look after . . . it is a full time job really - but afternoons off to explore etc

May be able to have an outdoor hutch and aviary run if bringing own buns or keep in bedroom if house trained.

Must be able to spot an ill bun from 50 paces.
 
I'd love to do somet like that, if only I was closer to you I'd jump at the chance to be around so many buns :lol:
 
I would love to do it, as I've now got a week off in June and not going to Scotland now. But I have now way of getting to you. And I would do it unpaid :(

Hi everyone and thanks for the answers already!!!:wave:

Just to cover a few things that people have asked - at present we don't have a date set - but its likely to be August or Sept but could be last part July??. We could arrange it around whoever could help out.

We do have a long weekend we want to do end July (July 30th- 2nd Aug as a friend is having a huge birthday bash at his families country home in Wales so that could be a sort of 'try it' thing if anyone fancied??? (paid again).

I am afraid dogs would be very difficult as at least 6 of the rabbits are in the house free ranging, and also the cat, and the rest are in the garden and would be horrified! They have never seen/heard a dog so might all simultaneously go into stasis.

I am also allergic to dogs/dog hair (ditto smoking).
 
I live near Cambridge!

If it's a week where G will take Oliver then I'll put myself forwards as a candidate!! :D

If you find a date then let me know. :)
 
I would love to do it, am not to far away and am a teacher so free all summer...but I'm not sure I know buns well enough, I only have one :?
 
I hope you get something sorted, I know how you feel.

We still haven't had our honeymoon :lol: We eventually got a small holiday booked at the end of last year and all the bun care covered, but they all decided to get ill so we had to cancel :roll:

Now we can't even afford a holiday :lol:
 
I'll do it :D
As long as I can bring my own bunnies.
I'm not around for 2 weeks, but let me know what dates you can do!
 
I can do later half of September, if i can bring my 3 - they are fine with other bunnies around and arent bothered by dogs/cats etc.

Liz, should you get organised/funds for your honeymoon again, you know where i am, but you might not get Eddie and El back! :lol::lol::lol:
 
Just to say really hope you can have your well deserved holiday and rest! :D

You have some excellent offers, wish I could offer too... but my poorly bun needs me here. Hope you get something sorted. :wave:
