You are welcome to bring your animals favourite toys / boredom breakers to help reduce stress due to the change of environment..
Background Information
I fostered 31 Rabbits and 13 Guinea pigs for WADARS animal rescue centre from 2015 to 2021 and have experience with aggressive, timid and challenging animals and animals with special needs.
I appreciate that every animal is unique and has its own specific needs, so I can adapt the care, handling and understanding each specific animal needs to be happy and healthy while you are away.
I have a Rabbit Care, Behaviour and Welfare (level 3) Diploma

Robbie was a loving husbun to Nibbles after the passing of her long term companion Alice who passed away aged 10 years.
