All rabbits and guinea pigs staying with me get a free claw cut if necessary during their stay. Here's Bobby looking mightily unimpressed with having his done today!!
Welcome to my small pet boarding page, this runs alongside Powys Small Pet Pampering set up in 2020.

I offer boarding for small pets, mostly guinea pigs, but also hamsters, fancy rats, mice, etc. They are housed in a secure and weatherproof wooden summerhouse in my garden and treated as if they were one of my own animals, with a minimum of twice daily checks, feeding and watering as well as regular cleaning out. Rabbits will be considered if they are fully vaccinated against myxomatosis, RHD1 and
RHD2, please contact me to discuss. I am experienced in all aspects of small animal ownership, care and handling, having owned rabbits for over 30 years, guinea pigs for 20 years, as well as hamsters and fancy rats in the past. I am fully insured, have an enhanced DBS check and offer a friendly and professional service, giving you peace of mind that your small pets are properly cared for while you relax on holiday. For guinea pigs and rabbits I provide cages, unlimited hay, food and water bowls/bottles and fresh green food twice daily. You can either provide your own bedding and dry food or use mine (dust-extracted wood shavings and Twitch guinea pig nuggets/Fancy Feed Bunny Nuggets or Burgess Excel rabbit pellets). For hamsters and other small rodents please provide your own cage, food and bedding. All guinea pigs and rabbits staying for two nights or more will have a free claw cut if required, and I also offer a 10% discount off my usual prices if you want your guinea pig to be bathed or groomed while they are a resident here. Please see my sister page Powys Small Pet Pampering for more information, or visit www.powyssmallpetpampering.co.uk

We have five guests staying with us at the moment!
Bobby the mini lop, Shadow and Snowball the guinea pigs, Midnight the Netherland Dwarf and Nigel the hamster (who refused to wake up for the photo shoot!)
Shadow and Snowball are staying with me at the moment and today they've had a little pamper, this included a claw cut, grease gland clean and a bath in a special shampoo called 'Just for Boars'.
Please ask if you'd like to book this for when your own guinea pigs stay with me, I offer a discounted rate as well!
Bobby is moulting at the moment, so he had a groom today, he's such a lovely boy, and always so well behaved!
From tomorrow I am full until August 17th, please do get in touch if you'd like to book for later this month or September/October as I have plenty of availability then π°ππΉβοΈπ
New guests Coco and Fluffy have just gone back home after a rather warm stay with us! Although my boarding summerhouse does not have an electricity supply we made sure that the boys kept cool by feeding lots of hydrating vegetables (such as cucumber), provided ice bottles for them to lie against, ran battery operated fans above their cages and removed excess bedding which can cause them to overheat. Fluffy also had a bit of a haircut to cool him down!
I am fully booked from 7th until 17th August, please contact me to book in for any other dates πΉβοΈπ°ππ
Almost set up for two new boarders who arrive this afternoon, just hay, water and the animals to add!

A little tour as I start to get set up for the first of this season's guests! My summerhouse is a perfect space for your small pets to stay in while you are away on holiday or needing them to be somewhere quiet and dust free while you're having home renovations done. I need to bring up hay, dried forage, fresh greens and water on the morning of the first guest's arrival and then we are all ready to go!
Jetting off on holiday this summer? Don't forget to organise the care of your small pets too! I'm fully insured, experienced in the care of many types of small animals and can offer your pets a wonderful stay in my lovely summerhouse, so please get in touch to book them in π°ππΉβοΈπ
πΉπΏπ°π»πΉπ₯π°ππΉππ° We feed a range of fresh food here, including spring greens, kale, spinach, romaine lettuce, apple, carrot and fresh grass and dandelions in the summer months. Here is Bertie, one of our current boarders enjoying his selection! Unlimited hay is also provided, alongside readigrass (dried grass) and dried forage which we buy from Bunny Bistro UK. We have a few options available for dry feed, including Twitch guinea pig or rabbit nuggets, Burgess Excel rabbit pellets, Fancy Feed Bunny Nuggets and Gerty Guinea Pig mix. If your pet is fussy you are of course welcome to bring your own food along! πΉπΏπ°π»πΉπ₯π°ππΉππ°
Dave filling his pouches before returning to his nest yesterday! I'm taking bookings for September onwards now, as my boarders I have at the moment will all be going back to their own homes over the next week or so...we will miss them! πΉπ°π
Here's a video of Peanut and Marshmallow enjoying some spring greens and romaine lettuce on their recent stay with me! I have very limited availability now until September, I can possibly fit in a few days here and there but no spaces for longer stays are available during the school holidays I'm afraid.
We are involved with a different sort of pet care at the moment, looking after chickens, alpacas and sheep! They were hungry for their breakfast today! Please get in touch if you have a more unusual request, we may be able to help!
Midnight got a bit impatient the other night while we were feeding the other residents, so she helped herself to her greens which were on the top of her cage!!
Cherry our long term resident enjoying her fresh food tonight, she has spring greens, lettuce, dandelions and apple leaves! I do have some (limited) availability for the rest of the school holidays, and more space as we go into September and October, please send me a message to book your small pets in! πΉπ°ππ
