Nibbles & Custard Pet Services

Nibbles & Custard Pet Services Bespoke Pet Care Service based in Burwell, Cambridgeshire. Loving, Professional Care for your Pet. Custom tailored to your Requirements!

Promoting Happy and Healthy tiny VIP'S, with the Highest Welfare Standards, Care and Advice, always at the Heart of what we do and love! With well over 14 years of experience working with small animals. Village based pet care delivered to you by an experienced and passionate animal carer. Price range depends on the details of the job so please do message with your enquires first to discuss your pe

ts needs. We pride ourselves on being a premium pet care service offering flexible options, depending on your pets needs. Our Most Popular Services Include:

- House Visits to your pets in the comfort of their own home. The Frequency of the calls is up to you! But Please note-House visits are only currently available for Burwell and surrounding villages.

-OR Secondly, our Five Star Rated home from home Small Pet Boarding Service. (this service normally gets booked up for the summer months so be sure to get in contact in advance). Boarding is strictly for small pets, not for cats or dogs I'm afraid. We also offer diet and care advise for free as part of the boarding service. So what makes us different? Well, most standard pet care companies lack the personal touch, the true training to fully understand the animal their caring for and don’t have the time to really stop and spend time with your pets. But we pride ourselves on giving time to your pet each day which includes plenty of play time and attention. The majority of commercial pet care tends to only focus on cats and dogs- but here, we focus our love on smaller critters. Small Pets are often over looked and presented as easy to care for, low maintenance pets. They are in fact complicated creatures that require expert care and knowledge which can only be obtained from years of hands on work with them and formal training. It’s all too easy for someone to say they care for people’s pets but there is a lot more that goes into it then that claim. Can they tell if the pet is getting sick? Do they know what certain behaviours mean? Can they medicate your pet correctly? Have they actually owned a small pet? Do they know common conditions, symptoms and causes? Do they know what a healthy diet should be for your pet and are they able to help educate the owner if the diet or lifestyle could be better? It should be an answer of yes to all these questions. If it’s a no then in my book, they are just someone who loves animals, not a pet specialist. This is what sets us apart from other pet care services

GI or Gut stasis, do you know what it is?? Do you know the symptoms if your small pet gets sick with GI? Did you know it's often referred too as the silent killer of small pets and one of the leading causes of death in our small fury pet community?

GI is a serious medical emergency for your guinea pig or rabbit. If you think your pet is suffering with GI, please get them to your vets as quickly as possible. Delaying care for GI can lead to death and without doubt, in my mind, GI is among one of the most important complications that ALL small p...

As requested by some of our regular clients- new blog just dropped on our website explaining why your small pet sneezes. 🐹🐹🐰🐰👍

Well firstly, before you start panicking and thinking the worst, sneezing a few times a day is actually pretty common and also often totally normal...

Why is my guinea pig sneezing? Well it's actually pretty common...sneezing a little each day is normal for every pig especially considering that they spend a lot of their time with their noses, foraging in hay. So ofcourse hay dust makes them sneeze. However it's important to know when it's normal and when it's something else.

Main Causes for sneezing piggies are:
- irritation from inhaling bedding dust
- stress
- allergies
- vitamin d levels being low
- illness

Stay posted for a new blog to drop on our website soon with loads more details on causes of sneezing piggies and how to deal with. But remember don't panic if your piggy is sneezing, most of the time it's nothing serious but always seek a checkup with your vet if sneezing gets worse or other symptoms occure.

Attention all VIP clients who own bunnies ....there is a new strain of VHD2 lurking about which is coming from mainland Europe. Vets are now offering a new vaccine which will protect them from this strain which is a 6 monthly vaccine to be given 6 months after their last yearly all in one myxio and VHD2 standard vaccine. Some vets are already offering it, others are waiting on new stock to arrive in the coming months. If you haven't heard from your vet practice about this new vaccine, be sure to contact them as you may need to be added to a waiting list for wanting the vaccine when it arrives.

Over time, the hope is that this new vaccine will be combined back into an all in one yearly vaccine to make bunny owners life's easier however for now, you need to get this vaccine done separately in order to protect them against this new strain.
Remember that VHD is deadly and can can claim your bun rapidly so be responsible and keep up to date with your fur balls vaccines 🐰🐰👍👍

To cheer your day on this dreary wet December day, here are some photos of some of our small VIP clients getting in the festive spirit. With permission from their owners ...and as you know I don't approve of dressing up pets as it can be stressful but all these photos were taken in under a minute while they were being groomed or having medication given so no extra pose time required 🥰🥰🥰🎁🎁

"I have a very important message umans, stay warm, sleep, eat snacks and be cute, stay away from the cold stuff outside, it's scary and wet and I don't like wet, that's all"

Did you know that guinea piggies have two personality traits- dominant and submissive, it's always best to pair your piggies as a dominant and a submissive pig pair. Having two of the same can lead to fighting and many arguments especially if they are the same s*x. And in groups larger then two, the most dominant pig will always take the lead and be first in line for everything- I think it's clear who is the queen with these three VIPs 🤣🤣🤣🫣

It's so important to give enrichment toys to your small pet, it prevents boredom and helps exercise their minds. Hiding treats inside different sized cups is a great way to keep your bun or pigs entertained as they work out the different sizes in order to reach the treats as one of our lovely VIPS is demonstrating here. #burwellsmallpets #villagehousevisits #nibblesandcustard #fivestar #VIP #thecareyourpetneeds #smallvip #rabbit #bunny #playing #enrichment #snacks
