BOARDING SERVICES
ACS
Brisbane Shelter is able to board your guinea pigs while you are away on
holidays. We realize that boarding for small animals can be hard to find
hence why we offer this service to small animal owners. We are able to
board rats and guinea
pigs. We ask that if you
would like to board
your guinea pig/s or rats with us that you phone the shelter at least
2 weeks prior to when
you will be needing
your animals minded as
sometimes the shelter can be already fully booked if we are not given adequate notice.
The
ACS has a boarding agreement form that is filled out and signed on the day
your pets are dropped off at the shelter. This form can be viewed and read
below.
Our boarding fees are very low and cover costs of fresh bedding, veggies and feed for your guinea pig/s while in our care. Our standard daily diet for the guinea pigs consists of fresh water, hay/grass, quality ACS
fresh grain mix and veggies or if your guinea pigs have a specific diet
they are used to we will comply with this. Clean appropriate bedding is changed as required.
Where will my guinea pigs reside while I am away?
At ACS Brisbane Shelter
all guinea pigs boarding are housed indoors in our main guinea pig area
which is air conditioned in summer and heated in winter. The area is lit
up with lamps in the evening and the guinea pigs have their own soothing
music they listen to during the daytime. The guinea pigs have their own
fridge where their veggies are stored and all ACS fresh grains are stored
in this area and are mixed fresh for the guinea pigs every day. The area
is completely locked up by 10pm at night and then re-opened in the morning
for your guinea pigs safety. Boarding
guinea pig/s can have access to yummy buffalo grass in lawn playpens for
grass
time during some of their time while boarding at your request and
free of charge.
