RABBIT ACCOMMODATION
We often get asked where the rabbits will be staying - this is our current set-up for rabbits - enclosures are approximately 2m/1.20m, with some enrichment to suit. Animals can be taken to outside runs, weather permitting. In case of bad weather, they will be able to exercise inside the cabin. If they are the only rabbits at the time, more space will be given. The middle section can be covered with a top mesh to prevent jumping over to other enclosures, however this is unlikely to happen even without the top mesh. The separating mesh is very fine (1cm).
We do not board rabbits indoors (our house).

Some pictures of the current set up with have in our boarding lodge. The hutches went, and we have open space boxes instead that can be complemented with various tunnels, hide-outs, haystacks and shelves. We have kept one double 5 ft hutch inside the lodge and still have a single and double guinea pig hutch outside plus a single rabbit hutch outside. Picturing the trio we are currently bonding.

We have been fostering these 2 boys for the past 6 mths and there has been no interest in them so far... Maybe you know someone who would like to adopt them?

Adoption fees(Β£100) and home check applies. Please get in touch if you could help them to find a good home. Share this post. Thank you.

Unusual residents... Or a squatter should I say. Twig was found alone and dehydrated on a hot day last Sunday. No idea how he ended up in the middle of nowhere in bright daylight. He is about 5 weeks now and happily tucking in some kitten food. He has improved a lot and seems to enjoy his food...

WINTER HOLIDAYS
We had a flurry of bookings for this February break, some of you are off for a winter holiday it seems.
We have another golden oldie house rabbit, Ralphy, 7 years old and in perfect health! He is quite at home and enjoying a hop about in our rabbit proofed kitchen.
While we are almost full for the next 2 weeks, we are still awaiting bookings for the Easter period. Get in touch early to make sure we have space to accommodate your pets!
Finally, we also offer nail clipping for rabbits and guinea pigs for a small fee, just let us know if you feel you'd rather not do it yourself and we will help!
Pictured below Ralphie's set up, Ralphie himself and finally our Cara, brought in for nail clipping.

At Furchester Lodge we totally agree...

Guinea pigs are actually soooo adorable

21/12/2017

We have a very special guest this Christmas time. An adorable senior Nethie (Netherland dwarf) is staying with us.
Jed is nearly 10 years old (yes!) and in perfect health apart from his vision. Jed is blind that seems to be coping very well with his disability . At home he is a happy free-ranging house rabbit .
We have put a run with a simple arrangement for him, we do not change anything nor clean up excessively as it's important he can feel like he owns the space.
Go Jed. If only all the rabbits were doing as well as you!

RABBIT AND GUINEA PIG BOARDING

We still have space this Christmas for guinea pigs (boarded indoors) and a single rabbit or one bonded pair of rabbits (boarded outdoors). Our spacious log cabin is fully protected from bad weather and we do provide Snugglesafe heaters for each animal.
Fully insured.
We also take smaller animals.

Guinea pigs - Β£6 per night per hutch
Rabbits - Β£7 per night per hutch

All rabbits need to be vaccinated against Myxomatosis, RVHD1 and RHVD2 (Nobiac and Filavac given at 2 weeks interval and at least 7 days prior to boarding).

06/11/2017

We are designing hay feeders and they are being put to test at the Furchester. Lovely long stem feeding hay not being wasted... I hope!
We still have space for guinea pigs and 1 rabbit or a bonded pair over Christmas.
We are fully insured and offer boarding in a sheltered log cabin with Snugglesafe pads. Come and see us in Barlow!

Edyta and family take wonderful care of my gerbil and giant African land snails! Very clearly an animal lover, flexible and friendly. Definitely recommend!
I took my two gerbils and two giant African land snails to The Furchester Lodge for the weekend and they were well taken care of by Ed. She seemed to really like and care about small animals and asked all the right questions about their care. Recommend ☺️ Really accommodating and helpful too!
Rabbit and guinea pig owners - the best treats are nature picks... Not the ones in the video! So don't feel guilty if you are giving them a miss in the shop.
Happy bunnies
Feeling cosy...
Animals looking for homes and this one specifically for a bunny girlfriend - we could always help with holidays if needed:)
