Frequently Asked Questions
My rabbit needs to go to the vet. Will you take them?
We can definitely take your rabbit to the vet in case of an emergency! If a scheduled vet visit is needed while you are away, we may be able to help. Please contact us for details.
Do you have experience with special needs rabbits?
Yes! We've cared for rabbits who have had a variety of special needs, including overgrown teeth, blindness, matted fur, chronic illness, head tilt, pregnancy, and stasis. It's no problem to give oral medication, and we have experience giving penicillin injections as well. There is no extra charge for giving your bunny their meds.
What happens if my bunny gets sick?
We have had a few rabbits go into stasis while boarding with us, Alisha has dealt with stasis dozens of times and keeps Critical Care, Meloxicam, gas drops, and a thermometer on hand at all times. We will contact you right away to let you know, and if we don't believe that it is an emergency, we often recommend treating it at home first, which works 90 - 95% of the time and avoids very costly emergency bills. All but one of our boarding bunnies came out of stasis under Alisha's care without having to go to the vet (and that bunny made a full recovery as well). If you prefer that we take the bunny directly to the ER, we certainly will. With your approval, we would also go to the ER if we don't see improvement in 24 hours or the bunny's temperature drops. You are responsible for all vet costs.
What do you charge?
Please see the prices and services page.
How much space will my bunny have?
Many boarding homes, including vets, keep bunnies in relatively small areas. We provide full-size x-pens (4ft x 4ft) or larger (4ft x 6ft) for every bunny, even though that limits the number of buns we can board. Quality over quantity!
Pairs, trios, and larger breeds will be given the priority when booking the larger pens.
What kinds of food do you use?
-
Oxbow adult pellets
-
Fresh veggies typically include romaine lettuce, parsley, cilantro, and dandelion greens with occasional variety depending on what looks good!
-
Unlimited access to fresh timothy, orchard grass, oat, or botanical hay based on your preference.
-
Oxbow Simple Rewards treats, Selective Naturals Loops, or dehydrated fruit as bedtime treats.
Do you provide updates?
Yes! You will get regular updates and will also have access to a camera to check in on your bunny any time you like.
Do you board any other pets?
Yes, we also have experience with guinea pigs and would be happy to board them!
We do not board cats or dogs.
Will my bunny get to play with other bunnies while they are there?
No. Bunnies do not naturally get along, and so for everybun's safety, bunnies will not interact with other bunnies unless they came as a bonded pair/group.
Where are you located?
We are located in Palmyra, NJ — just 5 minutes from the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, 10 minutes from the Betsy Ross Bridge, and about 15 minutes from Center City Philadelphia.
Can I come in and get my bunny settled in?
Yes! You are welcome to come in. We want you to feel comfortable.
What times are you available for drop off/pick up?
All drop off and pick up times are by appointment. Please arrange your times with Alisha as early in advance as possible and do your best to stick to a 30-minute window. If your desired time does not fit with her schedule, you can usually drop off/pick up the day before or after for no extra charge.
