Rabbit in kennel?

krlyr

With bunnies, I would strongly consider small animal boarding. Something like gut stasis can come on fast (and can be caused by stress - e.g. change in routine, like you going away) and the more delay with treatment, the more damage done (the digestive system shuts down and takes longer to restart the longer it's untreated).

I started boarding when I worked in petshops, we did some in the shop but then had to stop (licensing rules I think) so I did some in my own home. Ask at local petshops and vets if any of the employees do pet sitting themselves, perhaps.

Hello Ganga.

The website spadoosh posted is very good and you should find somewhere on there to board your rabbit. I have 6 very spoilt bunnies (4 outside and 2 indoor) and I found a fabulous boarder on the website. They go back to them everytime we go away. As rabbits are very good at hiding illness and can rapidly go down-hill within 8-12 hours. I would hate it if one of them took ill and there was no-one about to realise. When I got back into keeping rabbits, I quickly realised how old fashioned some people were about them.

Anyway, I just wanted to add information on vaccinations. You haven't mentioned if your rabbit is vaccinated or not.

• An good rabbit boarder will request that your rabbit has been vaccinated against Myxomatosis and RHDV1 (Nobivac Myxi-RHD).
• An excellent rabbit boarder will also request that your rabbit has been vaccinated against RHDV2 (Filavac). There is currently a high number of reported cases in the UK of RHDV2 and in the last 2 years it has spread alarmingly quick around the country from the 1st reported case.

Personally if a boarder doesn't not even request you to protect your rabbit against Myxomatosis as a condition of boarding then in my opinion they are not worth considering using.
