Rabbit boarding

I'm doing work experience at a cattery in January, and I went to look round today and it was great, the lady also told me that they do rabbit and guinea-pig boarding, and we did walk past the hutches but they were all covered with blankets because they didn't have any guinea-pigs or rabbits staying in them and they were painting the walls so they moved everything together to make space. I've got to go back tomorrow because I left my work experience form at home so I need to get them to sign it, and I think I'm going to ask them more about the rabbit boarding. I'm not sure how big the hutches were because they were covered, but if they were a bit smaller than 6ft do you think that would be really bad? Obviously it wouldn't be brilliant, but I'm going to Poland for four days in a couple of weeks (I know it's not long but with Izzy's teeth and eating problems I'd rather she went somewhere with people who know about rabbits and could seperate her from Archie to feed etc.)

What questions should I ask? As I said I didn't see the hutches, but from what I did see I'm not sure if they were 6ft, although I will ask tomorrow. If everything else is good instead of the hutches, would it be really bad to take them there anyway? I know it's not ideal but the alternative is to leave them at home and my neighbour feed them daily, and she doesn't know very much about rabbits :?

Sorry for the long post

Anyone?

whereabouts in surrey are you?x

If you are near Windlesham try The Rabbit Crossing, contact The Duchess on here or in Farnborough there is The Little Warrens. http://www.thelittlewarrens.com/accommodation.html

I can strongly recommend both of these places and both are very knowledgable about rabbits.

Thank you, I'd like to use this boarding place I found, I just don't know what questions to ask. I'm in Haslemere

6ft hutches isn't the absolute, but its preferred. a 5ft hutch with attached run or access to a run daily would be fine IMO. Check that they ask for vaccinations so that you know that they are thinking about rabbit welfare. Also ask if they disinfect the hutches between rabbits.

There are a number of previous threads about boarding and what to look for. this is one thread I have found http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?274169-boarding-article-for-ref-section would be worth doing some searches on here and you may find more information to help you
