In the summer, I'm going to be going on holiday for 2 weeks and I'm thinking about what to do with the bunnies. They're house bunnies and are used to 2 big rooms to run around in.
What would be better, a pet sitter or a boarder?
Getting a pet sitter would mean that the bunnies would be in the same environment and wouldn't have to be moved to a new place which could be stressful (though they didn't seem to mind this at all when I took them home for the first time). But pet sitting does mean that they won't be given a lot of attention during the day and if something happened to them, the pet sitter wouldn't know untill they came in.
A boarder could potentially be more stressful and they would be confined to a smaller space than usual apart from when allowed in a big run or a room supervised. But boarding does mean that they would be given more attention and they would be checked up on more often so if they became ill, they could be seen to more quickly. Their feeding schedule would be easier for a boarder to stick to aswell because a sitter would have to see the rabbits early in the morning (7am) and in the evening too (7pm).
I might be going to see a couple of boarders tomorrow to see what their accomodation is like.
I don't really have any friends who have experience with rabbits so I wouldn't really trust them to look after them when I'm away.
What do you think would be the best option for two mini lop house bunnies? I also have two hamsters so those would have to be looked after too! Thanks x
