We're hoping to have a holiday to see family abroad in 2013/2014, probably for 3-4 weeks
My Elsa is not great at dealing with new situations and wasn't drinking enough for the first 3 days I had her (although she was a young bun that came from the rescue having being dumped and goodness knows what else, plus she wasn't fully bonded with Elmo, they'd only had playdates). Elmo is pretty chilled out
Just weighing up my options and would appreciate your ideas/thoughts/similar experiences:
I know several of you don't go on holidays - I highly doubt we would go on any more big holidays after this, but would really love to do this one...

Just weighing up my options and would appreciate your ideas/thoughts/similar experiences:
- Put them in boarding and hope it goes okay - but what happens if it doesn't...
- Put them in boarding a week before we go away - but this increases their time away from home and if we decided to cancel we'd lose a lot of money on the flights (& upset family members!)
- Put them in boarding for a week or so this year and see how it goes before we book the holiday - but this puts them through it twice, and they seem to take several days to get used to new routines
- Pay for a (trusted) bunny sitter to come round twice a day so they get to stay in their familiar environment (particularly as Elmo is partially sighted) - but this means they are alone for most of the day if they get ill or something. Could also get family members to check in on them in addition to the bunny sitter, but none of them are pet owners
