WE STARTED THE RODENT RESORT EARLY IN 2007 AFTER FINDING OURSELVES IN A POSITION WHERE WE COULD NOT FIND ANYWHERE TO ACCOMMODATE OUR OWN PETS WHEN WE WENT AWAY ON HOLIDAY. PET MINDERS, WHO VISIT YOUR HOME, CAN BE QUITE COSTLY WHEN YOU ARE AWAY FOR A FEW WEEKS AND YOUR ANIMALS MAY ONLY BE CHECKED ON ONCE OR TWICE DAILY. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A BUSINESS WE THINK OF IT AS MORE OF A FAMILY HOBBY – WE HAVE SO MANY OF OUR OWN ANIMALS, HAVING A FEW EXTRA TO CARE FOR IS A BONUS AND OUR SONS ARE HAPPY TO GET STUCK IN WITH CLEANING AND FEEDING DUTIES. THE BIT THEY ENJOY THE MOST IS EXERCISE TIME FOR THE RABBITS AND GUINEA PIGS. THE BOYS CAN OFTEN BE FOUND SITTING IN THE OUTDOOR RUNS GIVING LOTS OF CUDDLES. THE SAME GOES FOR THE INDOOR RABBITS WHO HAVE THE RUN OF THE KITCHEN FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS EACH DAY.

HERE YOUR PETS ARE CHECKED ON REGULARLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND ARE GIVEN AS MUCH EXERCISE AS POSSIBLE AND LOTS OF ATTENTION AND CUDDLES. THE PETS ARE FED ACCORDING TO YOUR INSTRUCTIONS AND MEDICATION CAN BE ADMINISTERED. THE HUTCHES ARE FULLY CLEANED AND DISINFECTED EVERY OTHER DAY AND THE SOILED AREAS ARE CLEANED REGULARLY. FOR RABBITS AND GUINEA PIGS WE HAVE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR ACCOMODATION ACCORDING TO YOUR PETS CURRENT HOUSING. WE PREFER RABBITS TO HAVE HAD THEIR MYXOMATOSIS AND VHD VACCINES BUT UNDERSTAND THAT NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD THEM OR FEEL IT NECESSARY. IF THIS IS THE CASE WE WILL KEEP THE RABBIT INDOORS AND DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO KEEP YOUR ANIMAL DISEASE FREE BUT WE DO ASK FOR A DISCLAIMER TO BE SIGNED. ANY ILLNESSES ARE TO BE ADVISED PRIOR TO YOUR PETS DATE OF ARRIVAL AND WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTED WITH MEDICATION AND VET DETAILS. SPECIAL DIETS CAN ALSO BE CATERED FOR.
