Forgot your pellets? Don’t worry! We always keep a small supply of emergency pellets on hand in case they’re accidentally left behind. However, whenever possible, we recommend bringing your rabbit’s own food to help maintain their normal routine.
Can I visit before booking?
To ensure the privacy and wellbeing of our boarding guests, we no longer offer pre-booking visits.
Instead, we’re happy to provide photos and videos of our accommodation so you can see exactly where your rabbit or guinea pig will be staying. When you arrive for your pet’s stay, we’ll also be happy to show you around the boarding areas and answer any questions you may have.
This approach helps us minimise disruption to our guests and allows us to focus on providing the highest standard of care.
