Rabbit Boarding
We all worry about our pets when we need to go away for a period of time. There are many places that offer boarding for rabbits. The astute rabbit owner should investigate each place prior to leaving your pet. To assist you we have compiled a list of boarding options.
Special Needs Buns
The Orphanage provides specialist services under veterinary advice such as: administering medications, administering injections, administering sub-cutaneous fluids, feeding critical care...etc.
​
When choosing boarding, rabbits with special needs or health issues require specialised care. It is important to seek advice from a bunny savvy vet and that your rabbit receives appropriate care from knowledgeable and experienced carers whilst in boarding..
Remember to book well in advance for Christmas, Easter, school holiday and long weekends as most boarding facilities are booked out well in advance.
Experience
You need to establish what experience the operators have with rabbits.
Are they experienced in identifying health issues?.
Do they have protocols to establish if the rabbit is not eating?
Are they experienced in treating health conditions under vet advice?.
Do they have vets for rabbits that they can take the rabbit to 24/7?
Housing
Is the rabbit housed indoors or outdoors?
Are the facilities protected from the heat and cold?
Are the facilities mosquito and predator proof?
Are there other predator animals at the same facility?
