Wise Old Thumper
As some of you will know I am in the process of setting up some hutches for boarding. So fast the set up is as follows
7x2x2ft hutches with 2x2x1 sleeping area. This allows a resting place of the same size on top.
Hutch lined with lino.
50cm plastic dog bed for litter trays.
Bowl or bottle for water, bowl or scatter feed food.
Vet bed to lie on in the open area.
Hay in litter tray, sleepy area and ikea bag holder on the wall.
Insurance for vet bills, public liability, accidents whilst in my care.
Normal food, veg and hay supplied by me.
That's the essentials, everything can be disinfected with Trigene or washed at high temps between bunnies.
Now I am working on amusement. So far I have treat balls to feed part of their pellet reason that can also be disinfected. I have also ordered metal holders with replaceable wooden chews so the holder can be disinfected between buns and new chews added each time. Clients are all able to bring any toys etc that the buns are used to from home.
I am trying to balance cost effectiveness, bunny welfare and hygiene whilst providing a stimulating environment.
I would be grateful for your thoughts about what have I missed and what else can you think of to help meet this objective?
