Care Fees
The following chart outlines my care fees & what they include aside from “the basics”. My fees are on a per-night basis. All fees include optional periodic emails to let you know how your friend is doing:
Rabbits
$10 per bunny in their own cage*
$2 per night additional charge for using on-site cage
- * $5 per night for each additional bunny in the same cage (i.e., a pair of bonded bunnies, using your cage, would be $15 per night; using our cage, $17.) Two bunnies, your two cages, is $20 per night, and so on.
- Two or more bunnies, in their own separate cages, will be $20 per night, and so on.
You may also opt to bring a pen to set up on the floor, if you so prefer. Pens follow the same pricing schedule as cages (i.e., 3 bonded bunnies in your floor pen would be $20 per night, $10 for first bun, $5 each for second and third). Pens are subject to strict space availability, to avoid overcrowding the buns. Pen enclosures are also subject to a separate liability waiver, signed by you, agreeing that you will take appropriate financial responsibility should Bugs manage to chew through the pen and cause property damage. Pens are required to include a piece of linoleum or other form of proven indestructible floor protection.Please note - if you do not have a pen of your own, one can be provided following the same pricing guidelines as on-site cages. A photo of a pen setup can be provided upon request for your approval prior to signing a boarding contract.
