Bunny boarding London area, desperately trying to find somewhere

I posted a while back about finding somewhere to look after PM for a few days at the end of July, but everywhere I've found is far and he hates hates hates long car journeys. I really would like to find somewhere local if anyone can help I'd be so happy, as both my friend and my parents are away at the same time as me so my usual options are gone. I'd really like to avoid taking him up to Sheffield because the journey will not be fun for him :(

edit: I'm in south east london/kent area

:( it's one of the reasons I'm considering starting one. It's very much a pipe dream at the moment though. Can no one pet sit?
 
Have you tried your local vets? Sometimes vet nurses do boarding on the side :)

No I can't really ask anyone to give up their weekend to stay at mine really. Wanna trial run your bunny boarding with a naughty mini rex? Haha

I have but I don't know if I trust any of the ones in my area, I don't want to leave him with just *anyone* you know, need a recommendation really. Most of the ones near me have 4ft hutches, so immediately that concerns me

I did notice that the hutches were 4ft and that would put me off, wish you lived nearer us, but hopefully somebody on RU may help if they live near you , Good Luck :thumb:
 
What route will you be taking up to Sheffield, is there anywhere you could drop off en route so the journey is a little shorter than taking them all the way with you. If you're going m25 dartford and up that way, you could try the rabbit residence just off the m11 at Royston, or happy bunnies up the a12 near Colchester. Or if you're going the other way round the m25, somewhere like Helen's at the rabbit crossing. July isn't far away though so all the decent places may well be booked by now. Hope you manage to sort something x
 
My mum lives in Blackheath, she maybe happy to go and fed them in your home. You could met her first, so you would feel comfortable with her visiting.

This is SUCH a kind offer, but I am hoping to find somewhere to board him so he isn't alone for most of the day. Thank you so much though.

Thank you - I have spoken to Bobtails as they are near, they are fully booked as a lady is boarding 26 rabbits with them for a month! But they are going to try and help find someone in my local area. Fingers crossed.

Edit: I could get to Woking as a detour on way to Sheffield?

I don't know if GBH Rescue in Beckenham could help you out for a short while. I don't think they normally do boarding but you could always try contacting them if you're in a tight spot.

You could try Hoppy Holidays in Pershore - when i drive up to Pershore from Eltham it takes around 3 hours however she is always booked up and I think she is until September - just shows how good and caring she is.
