How Long Can I Leave My Bunnies Alone?

Question

Im going on holiday for a while and I'm leaving them with friends. there will be 3 days when there bunnysitters will also be on holiday, will it be ok to leave threee days worth of pellets and water and then feed them as soon as they get back? or should I have another friend drop in. The hutch is huge so no worries about space and exercise. also they dont eat fruit or veg so no worries about missing out on that.ok?

Answer 1

No, they need fresh food and water every day!! How would you like to have to drink out of a bottle for 3 days with no fresh water??

They need fruit and veg in their diet, they are rabbits!! It is a requirement of their diet, for goodness sake. Why on earth do you not feed it? They also need as much hay as they want, topped up all the time, so no, you cannot leave them alone for 3 days, I cant believe you would even ask. If you werent willing to take on the responsibility of pets why did you get them? Going on holiday is just one part of being a pet owner, you must make suitable arrangements, not leave them alone. Take them to a bunny 'hotel' like a cattery or kennels but just for rabbits. They will be cared for properly.
