Exotic Pet Holiday Care
Exotic pet owners are no exception when it comes to the concerns and responsibilities of leaving their pets. We know from first hand experience that often in a multi pet household the exotic pets can be even more of a concern than their mammalian counterparts. There are so many factors to consider and we invite you to look over the detailed sections below that outline the areas of attention we offer to any keeper of exotic pets.
There is a deep concern regarding boarding services provided for exotic pets, as the conditions and husbandry requirements are so specific for these creatures, and each animal has its own set of acclimatised conditions which are more often than not different to the text book guidelines. These environments cannot be replicated outside of the animals permanent home and with the risk of respiratory infections, mites, ticks etc. it's not an option most keepers are at ease with. We would like to offer to help with your exotic pets needs by providing support from carers with over 30 years experience to ensure that everything is running smoothly with your pet whilst your away, no matter the length of time. We would like to offer a email/text update service to you so that you feel connected with daily routines even if your on the other side of the world.
Our Service is also one of the only all inclusive services, you are charged for the visit not for the number of animals. You will only be charged the set amount for the timed visit regardless the number or diversity of the pets.
Enviromental and Equipment Checks:
​
​
We will ensure all you environments are maintaining their correct conditions, by monitoring humidity and timers, thermostats, heating and lighting sources and enclosure security. In the case of racking enclosures we can change your bedding if required as these enclosures can develop high humidity levels and the temporary floor coverings can become wet quite quickly. You may require misting for some species which again is something usually required daily. If you have any special requirements we would be happy to discuss them with you, and we also offer a free consultation meeting if you have a care requirement which we feel is outside of our expertise or knowledge so we can learn from you the methods needed to care for your specific pet.
General Enclosure Maintenance
​
​
We can provide all the basic functions of care that you would usually carry out yourself.
We will check, clean and renew all water sources.
Provide basic husbandry such as removal of faeces or skins.
Administer vitamin supplements.
Even provide exercise if you require.
If the situation arises that we feel we need to advise you of something during our visits, rest assured we will get in contact with you as soon as that need arises so you are completely at ease whilst away.
Feeding:​
In the cases of daily feeders we can provide fresh fruit and vegetables, live food and frozen. We will uphold any and all dietary supplements required as well as provide a log of feeding success.
In the case of weekly/bi-weekly feeders we are happy to assist with this also. We know this can be a delicate process with some animals, we have seen a whole manner of specific routines that needed to be carried out in order for one to eat the pinkie, however with your instructions we are confident that there need be no break in your pets regular feeding regime. Once again a feeding log will be provided as will an email or text update if you require.
Outside the Ordinary:​
There are no minimum requirements for a booking with us. You can need the smallest of checks and we are happy to provide. Even if you require a once a week check of 20 mins we will help.
In addition to the health benefits that a stay at home, holiday care service such as a pet sitter can provide, there are also the home security concerns which will be addressed. We give your home the appearance of being lived in whilst your away. We will draw curtains, bring in the post, turn on TV's/lights, adjust central heating, whatever you require.
