        My boyfriend and I are going to the beach in a few weeks and have decided to let his mom be our cat and rabbit’s pet sitter since she works near our house so she could just stop by after work for a few hours and feed them and check on them. Jude usually gets his pellets in the morning and veggies at night, but I am working on transitioning him to pellets and vegetable both in the afternoon so it won’t be so weird when he gets fed at the time she is here. She knows not to pick him up at all (he really freaks out so we just gave up on “getting him use to being picked up” because it stressed him out too much. We leave Leia and Jude completely alone all the time and they never fight or even really acknowledge each other at all. Even when Leia is being playful and is playing with Jude a bit, he lets her know if she’s being too rough but she doesn’t even use her claws when playing with him or us anymore. Jude is more sassy than Leia and sometimes chases her but that’s the extent of their playing. We usually leave Jude to have the entire run of the house but he never leaves the living room (not sure why, I guess scary new place) but we’re going to limit him to half of the living room so he doesn’t destroy the house. I am going to already have his vegetables for each day measured out and in baggies so that all she will have to do is put them on a plate and give it to him and there is a measuring cup for his food in his food bag. I have bought a few things from the binkybunny store to give him things to do to keep him busy while we’re gone, I bought the tunnel haven, nifty gifty, sea grass bowl set, and willow wreaths with foliage. I also am going to make sure to stock up on bananas because just the scent of a banana will drive Jude nuts! Bananas are his crack. If he doesn’t run around looking for the banana and doing binkies and eat the banana, there is something wrong. Anything I’m missing that I should tell the pet sitter?

          It sounds like you are very prepared! I just returned from a trip, and a good friend took care of my rabbit for me. I’m not sure if you’ve seen this already, but I found the Binky Bunny bunny sitter guide very useful:  https://binkybunny.com/BUNNYINFO…fault.aspx. I printed it out and stuck it to my fridge, along with some info on basic rabbit care, common bunny diseases, and things to watch out for (abnormal poop, excessive sneezing, GI status symptoms, etc). It’s so nice that you’re planning to give Jude some toys when you’re gone. Is there any chance that he’ll run out of water and hay when she’s not there? Given how thorough you are, I’m sure you’ve thought of that already. 

          I’m not sure if it’s possible, but it would be great if your sitter could come by before work in the morning to make sure that he’s eating and pooping.

            he has a HUGE water bowl in his cage. I only have to refill it once a day (and that’s with the cat also sneaking drinks from it) and there is plenty of hay in the closet when you walk in the house next to Jude’s cage. What I’ll probably do is put sticky notes everywhere to remind her to do this and that when she comes by. and she won’t be able to come by in the morning seeing that she already is going kind of out of the way to sit with them in the evening…but Jude has NEVER had problems with pooping other than when we got him neutered. She is going to stay for a few hours in the afternoon just to make sure he’s okay though. I’m even going to put the number and address of the nearest rabbit savvy vet on the fridge. But I also keep critical care for if things ever go South.
