Hi folks, new member here. I have three chinnies, a dad (neutered) and two daughters. I’ve had them about 4 years now, but am facing a dilemma coming up to the holidays.
For the first time, I will be living quite far away from both my family and my partner’s family at Christmas, so I won’t be able to simply pop round and check on them throughout the holiday season, and I’m looking for advice on how to look after my chins over the holidays.
We have only just moved into the area, so we don’t know any of our neighbours yet - otherwise I would ask someone to stop by and check on them every day or two.
I will be travelling home to visit family for about five days, and there will be no one in our house for the duration. I won’t be able to bring their normal cage along with me, as it is very large and my car is not. I bought a small cage (a birdcage, about 2.5 feet tall) which I had hoped to use as a holiday cage, but after putting them in it it seems extremely small.
In the past when I have gone away for a weekend, I have simply left an extra food packet in their house and an extra water bottle attached, but this would be a rather longer trip and I am concerned about leaving them on their own for so long.
I am trying to figure out whether it would be better to bring the chinnies along with me in the cage, knowing that they won’t have very much space and might not have a chance to run around outside the cage very often, if at all, or whether I should leave them to fend for themselves (with plenty of supplies) while I’m gone.
Has anybody any advice or experiences to share on this?
