Question Rehoming small animals-for a short while?

Hi

Just wondered if there are any organisations that look after small animals temporarily? Like the RSPCA or something? Otherwise it means different friends looking after each one and alot of hassle.

TIA

maybe your local takeaway restaurant could take care of them?

Try your local Wyevale garden centre or similar that sells pets, many of them will look after Rodents etc for a couple of weeks or so, but they will need to be up to date on their jabs

What sort of pets?

If it's for cats then the local Cats Protection organisation will have fosters carers who can look after them if there's a good reason. For instance if a person living alone has to go into hospital for a few weeks & has no-one else to look after them.

where are you based mate? My wife offers a pet sitting service near Oxford. She will either pop in and check up/feed them during the day or will be happy to accomodate them for a few weeks.

I think the pets might be wascally wabbits, thought I could be wrong.

As for rehoming them, hmm, don't know of anywhere local myself, however you could ask at local pet shops, maybe Wolfit, the chappy there is a nice bloke.

We might be able to handle an extra house rabbit for a week or so. Maybe we could do a swap for when we go on holiday and need someone to mind ours?

Ours does the bottom of trouser legs and/or feet and/or hands. Depending on what he can reach.

And he's a little mental. Be interesting to see how he would interact with another one as he's never met one before... He's been done so he should be at least a little safe.

Stubborn too. Thought putting this plant on a stand out of the way would be enough...
