Just had a look at the Rabbit & Rodent hotel website and to be honest I'm not keen for a number of reasons. Maybe I'm just overly judgemental and going along for a chat might persuade me that they are competent at looking after rabbits, just not at writing websites reassuring you of that fact!
They say that hay is the diet basis (good, obviously) but then go on to say that they feed a good quality mix (no mention of it's best to bring your rabbit's normal food, which to me indicates a lack of knowledge of how sensitive a rabbit's digestive system is). It continues that they are fed on other foods including raw potato and lettuce :shock:
They also board ferrets, weasels and reptiles, all of which can be predators to rabbits so I'd like to check that they were a loooong way from them. I'm not keen on them being on the same premises being dealt with by the same people to be honest, I should think that the smell of ferrets nearby and especially on the clothing of the people handling the rabbits, could be very stressful to them.
They also insist that rabbits are treated with xenex spot-on to minimise the 'spread' of flystrike, which to be honest I think misses the point a bit, especially as xenex only kills the maggots whereas rearguard stops the eggs from hatching. I guess requiring it is a bit of an 'insurance policy' from their point of view, but it worries me that it could lull them into a false sense of security and these are chemicals which are actually only recommended for high risk animals.
But I'm afraid my pet hate (pardon the pun!) is that they are constantly referred to as 'bunny rabbits' and on another page (of baby animals FOR SALE!) they have 'pussy cat kittens'. I'm sorry that's just so patronising it really gets my back up :lol:
