How to Care for Your Rabbit When You Go on Holiday

Tips for a Stress-Free Vacation for You and Your Bunny

Planning a getaway is always exciting, but if you're a rabbit owner, it can also be a bit stressful. Rabbits are sensitive creatures and need consistent care, even when you're away. Here’s how to ensure your bunny is happy, healthy and safe while you’re off enjoying your holiday.

1. Book Bunny-Savvy Care

The best option is to have someone who understands rabbits look after your pet. Whether it’s a trusted friend, family member or a pet-sitting service, make sure they’re familiar with your bunny’s needs.

For peace of mind, consider using a specialist service like Lagoballo's Bun Bun Vacay Care (you can book through this link too), which offers professional rabbit care while you’re away (see the area Lagoballo services).

2. Prepare a Care Guide

Write up a simple guide for your sitter. Include:

• Your rabbit’s routine (feeding times, favourite foods, playtime, etc.)

• Any quirks or health issues

• Emergency procedures and contacts

• Your contact details and your vet’s details (including address and phone number)

Having all this info handy will help your sitter feel confident and your bunny stay comfortable.

The Lagoballo booking form is a good place to start as it will grab all these details and store them for your bun bun.

3. Stock Up on Food and Supplies

Make sure you’ve got enough hay, pellets, fresh veggies and treats to last the entire trip (plus a little extra, just in case). Lay out the portions in labelled containers if it makes things easier for your sitter. Don’t forget litter, bedding and any medication your rabbit might need.

4. Secure Access to Your Property

Arrange a safe way for your sitter to enter your home. If you’re handing over spare keys, test them first. Leave clear instructions about security alarms or tricky doors. If you have a pet camera, set it up so you can check in without disturbing your bunny’s routine.

5. Bunny-Proofing and Comfort

Before you leave, double-check your rabbit’s space. Remove any plants or items that could be chewed, ensure enclosures are secure, and provide plenty of toys and hideaways for comfort. A familiar-smelling blanket or toy can help your rabbit feel at ease.

6. Share Helpful Guides

Lagoballo has a range of helpful resources for bunny owners. Share their Bun Bun Vacay Care page with your sitter, and explore more tips and guides on their Guides section. These resources can answer common questions and offer peace of mind while you’re away.

Final Thoughts

A little preparation goes a long way in ensuring your rabbit is well looked after during your holiday. With the right caretaker, a solid plan, and trusted resources like Lagoballo’s Bun Bun Vacay Care, you can relax knowing your bun is in safe hands. Safe travels and happy hopping!
