Hi, does anyone know of places that look after hamsters while your on holiday? I'm trying to plan a trip away, but am worried about finding a safe place to take my hamsters while i'm away? I would like to know if there are any other options than burdening my relatives?

Anyone help?

Critter Sitters? how do I contact them? are they online or in the phone book?

If you make a phone call to Hallam Vets in Crookes, they have a list of 4/5. Can you get up there? I have to take my dog later today, do you want me to take some numbers for you. I will pm them to you tomorrow.

I just had a thought, do these people stay in your homes? If so that's not what i'm looking for. I need someone that will take them into their homes.

Don't worry about the numbers, i'll phone :) In fact I should've thought of that myself, i'll phone my vets too.

Thanks for the help, and I hope your dog has a good result at the vets!

Or PDSA or local pet food shop. If itts a large dog they visit your home and and care for the animal, otherwise, so I understand, they take the animal and keep it at home.

Good luck in your search

There's a thread on here already from a couple of months back. There's a small animal 'hotel' in Heeley
