Dear All
I made the right decision to put Huppie into the hotel - my friend went away before the vacation and left his keys on holiday. He didn't get them back for a week and he probably wouldn't have paid to get entry to care for her! However, Huppie hardly didn't get any exercise because they only have outdoor runs and don't put the rabbits out when it is raining!!! Huppie got fat in just 10 days and has come back with lots of loose hair. She has been home for a week now and the weight has started to come off and her fur is slowly improving but it is a worry for next time!!!
Thanks for all of your help

I have no idea if this is the right place for this topic but I wasn't sure where to post.
I am going away for 9 nights next Monday and we have someone coming to look after Huppie. My friend has been before to care for her and it is ok but I am a fussy mum! He can only come once a day and there is nobody else that can do it. However she gets to stay in her own space and he comes for an hour at a time to play with her.
I am getting twitchy that this isn't good enough because of flystrike issues at this time of year and so on. The other option is to put her in a local rabbit hotel - there is a huge one that keeps a couple of cages free for emergencies - my panic would count as it is a week until I leave. The hotel would feed and water her twice a day. However, she would be in a small cage and get very little exercise and would not have any company.
Both said they would clean her loo everyday.
What do I do? I should really decide today to give everyone a week's notice of cancellation (my friend) and confirmation of booking (the hotel).
Help!!!! I have no idea what is best as neither are perfect.
