Vaccinations required for our guests stay

Rabbits will need to have current and up to date vaccinations for VHD & Myxomatosis and provide a vaccination card upon booking. Vaccinations need to be carried out at least three weeks in advance of their stay.

Always allow a two week gap between vaccinations, as they cannot be given at the same time. Myxmatosis vaccinations need to be updated every six months and VHD once a year, as myxi is pretty rife in Befordshire and surrounding areas at the moment. Your rabbit will still need to be vaccinated, even if it lives indoors as a houserabbit as these diseases can even spread through insects in your hay.

Unfortunately, I’m currently unable to accommodate and medicate sick small animals or those showing any signs of illness. Please discuss any further special needs for example grooming and behavioural with me when checking accommodation availability, a donation will be required for extensive grooming.

I will require your vets contact information and pets medical history also your contact information or that of a trusted friend, incase I need to contact you in an emergency.

If an animal becomes sick whilst with us, we will take it to your vet, or to ours, whichever is closest. You are responsible for any vets fees and travel, and I will need to be reimbursed when you collect your pet.
