Holiday WITH rabbits, anywhere?

[bunnyhun]

We have 2 rabbits and would love a holiday with them. Has anyone been anywhere that provides a hitch and run alongside holiday type accommodation?

Seriously? 😳

No I don't know anywhere that does that

People take their dogs with them on holiday, why not your rabbits?!

no but you may have stumbled on a money spinner for somebody to add hutches to their holiday cottages/cabins!

Rabbits can be very destructive - we had a house rabbit that chewed wires, carpet, a wardrobe, drawers and every piece of cardboard he could get. I can't see many people wanting to take the risk with having them.

Also, when you take dogs, you take them out whenever you go. It's always specified that they are never to be left alone - you obviously can't do this with rabbits.

I would ask for local recommendations for rabbit boarding, some local rabbit specific rescues might do it too for extra money. We left our bun with some lovely people in the past.

It really is quiet stressful to travel for rabbits, but as you say - people take dogs! There will be somewhere out there that has the room if you have your own hutch/cage... as well as a large security deposit

Well it's a bit unusual to say the least. Maybe you could try some farmhouses that have cottages. But perhaps not as the previous poster has said rabbits are notorious for chewing things. Easiest thing is get a neighbour or friend to feed them.

I used to holiday with my rabbit, but only because we lived abroad and brought her home with us to stay with my parents. The long drive didn't seem to bother her but she was a bit of an oddball!

Now my lot (pigs and bun) go to small animal holiday places. There's a lot of them around but I always do an inspection visit before booking them in. No reputable place would ever turn down an inspection request. I've seen a couple that i wouldn't allow mine to go to - small hutches and no time in a run. I have, however, found two within an hours drive which are brilliant. The animals are cared for as if they are the homes own pets and are thoroughly spoilt with plenty of outdoor run time and lots of fuss and attention. My lot don't want to come home.

Have a look around and make some visits. Or, you could always see if you could find one close to your holiday destination, although the holiday home are unlikely to be pleased if you keep turning up to visit your rabbits - they are very busy.

OK I will admit it we take our two piggies on holiday with us to Norfolk.
We go every couple of months, but it is to my brother's and we have hutch, run etc set up there.
They have a study box to travel in and are fine with the almost 3 hour journey. But they aren't rabbits so cannot really advise.

In fact Sadie is a Norfolk girl, old Sophie died on holiday and Moll went into a decline so we had to find her a friend.

On the way back from Cornwall at some motorway services we saw a family car with the roof box on etc and a man feeding a dog and a cat who was just wandering in and out of the back of the car. God knows where they had been staying or how they managed to get a cat that doesn't run away.

I think the only kind of rabbits you could take on holiday are the ones that think they're human.

Sleight I definitely have one of those bunnies! Mine comes to visit my parents with me and has a holiday home set up there...and the company of five cats who she desperately wants to make friends with but who are all terrified of her!

Aah. I think they were actually humans in a previous life, I always think that when I see Bob the cat, nothing seems to phase him.

I know a couple who take their rabbit on weekends away, for their benefit not the rabbit. It is an indoor rabbit and has a plastic indoor cage.
