When I went on vacation for 5 days shortly after I moved to a new state and didn’t know anyone, what I did was google “pet sitters” and the name of my town then I picked one pretty randomly from the 3 major options that came up. I had her come in 2x a day- once in the morning for a quick 10 min visit to feed greens and once in the evening for 20 min to feed pellets, clean, give head pets, etc… not ideal… but it was only $25 a day which was reasonable for me to have peace of mind that someone reliable was checking on them twice a day… she was bonded and insured through pet sitters america (??) or whatever the national organization is… can’t quite remember now… so that is in option if you can’t find anyone you know to take care of them… also, when I knew I was going to be gone for over 2 weeks even though it was a 23 hr drive, I took both my buns with me since I decided overall it would be less stressful for me and them if they came too….

I’ve left buns before for vacation and just had them checked on once a day… but I’m not sure how good that actually is… maybe someone else will have a better idea….

Also- if you can get him neutered, then 1 month should be enough time for him to be healed and his hormones to be died done enough to bond to a female. Everything I have seen online, including here on BB is that males can get a female pregnant for up to 1 month after a neuter, so I think at 1 month that would be fine to bond him. Males bounce back a lot quicker from a neuter (less invasive) than females from a spay so recovery isn’t as big an issue as hormones…

Hopefully all of my rambling helped you at least a little

Have you tried your veterinarian? Often times they will board an animal, along with the notion of pet sitters, check out your local HRS/Rabbit Rescue and see if there is a member nearby that will bunny sit (i.e. you take your rabbit to their house for them to watch).

I am leaving next week for two full weeks and I have a WONDERFUL bunny-sitter I am driving 1 1/2 hours to take my babies to. She does such a great job, the drive is worth it.

Here are two shelters in NC (one bunny-specific):

I was thinking of your vet also. Mine boards so it’s a good choice.

But what about scheduling the neuter for that weekend, and bring him in Friday? He could board there during and right after, they can watch to make sure he recovers well, and it will be done and he’ll be healing by the time you get back.

Oh been there done that!  I had a coronary over leaving Edson for 10 days! I finally contacted the local House Rabbit Society  to see if they had a list of sitters.  They had ONE!  She was INCREDIBLE!  I do think you need someone to come in twice a day if you go that route.  There’s so much to do with a rabbit.  I actually took Edson to this woman’s house which was awesome.  I thought Edson would die without me…I learned I was totally replaceable! Do you have a rabbit rescue nearby?  They often board as does the House Rabbit Society.  I feel your pain.  Good luck!
