Yes, but vaccination only applies to rabbits not guinea-pigs.
For their safety and others staying with us, you'll find all good rabbit boarders will ask for a certificate to show up to date vaccinations against Myxomatosis and VHD (Viral Haemorrhagic Disease). The Myxomatosis vaccination should be given every 6 months and the VHD once per year. It takes a rabbit 14 days to build up immunity from the day they are vaccinated and the different vaccinations should be given at least 14 days apart. So if your bunny needs their boosters, please ensure that you plan well in advance of their holiday.
It is important to vaccinate because VHD and Myxomatosis are widespread in the UK, very contagious and almost always fatal. Both diseases can be spread by insects such as mosquitos, ticks and fleas and so pet bunnies don't necessarily have to come into direct contact with wild bunnies to become infected. The best way to ensure your rabbit is not at risk is to keep their vaccinations up to date.
Each vaccination costs around £15, please speak to your vet to find out more.

Yes, although our accommodation is not indoors. Each bunk is outdoors but has a timber hutch and a unique 'indoor/outdoor' private run. The hutch measures 4ft by 2ft and is heated & insulated for colder weather. We can also provide a heated SnuggleSafe pad for house bunnies who enjoy extra warmth and we always give plenty of fuss and attention throughout the day. Each bunk has a radio to help provide the extra background noise your house bunny may be used to. From dawn until dusk, your pet can enjoy the attached private run giving a total length of 11ft of running space. The run is under cover yet partially open to the weather so your pet can enjoy the sunshine but will be protected on cold, wet or windy days. Check out our accommodation page for more information.

Absolutely. Safety is our top priority. Every hutch and run has a double layer of galvanised mesh and secure locks to keep all our visitors safe and sound. This prevents unwanted visitors or foxes digging underneath to gain access. What's more all our bunks are placed on a concrete base to prevent burrowing. And after a long day in their private runs we ensure all pets are locked up in their bunks before nightfall.

Yes they'll get lots of exercise. All our bunks come with large 7ft private runs they can enjoy all day. With their attached indoor hutch this gives a total length of 11ft of running space. Each bunk is also 2ft wide and over 2.5ft tall so there's plenty of room to stand up and stretch.

All animals boarded with us must be in good health and any medical conditions discussed with us prior to check in. In the very unlikely event of your pet becoming ill during their stay with us, we will treat seek treatment for them in the same way as we would our own pets. On make a booking with us we ask you to provide a contact number where we can reach you in an emergency, or to nominate another emergency contact who can make decisions for you. Under our terms of use we ask that pet owners give us the right to seek veterinary care for their pets and to agree to pay for all costs incurred in doing so, this may include out of hours charges. We will always attempt to contact you or your emergency nominee in the first instance, as long as taking the time to do so does not delay necessary treatment for your pet. Knowing more about your pet will help us identify what's normal behaviour and when something is wrong so please use the comments section on the booking form to tell us more about their medical history.
