Holiday Boarding Service
The Global Geckos Holiday boarding service is here to
allow exotic pet owners to leave their animal/animals in the care of qualified
professionals while they holiday stress free. Prices are based on accommodation
and services provided whilst in the care of Global Geckos.
This service is very popular so please book as far in
advance as possible to avoid disappointment as we only have limited spaces at
any given time.
At present the largest enclosure size for holiday
boarding we can offer is a 48in x 18in x 18in.
Invertebrates must be brought to us in suitable
accommodation for the duration of their stay, but all other animals will be
housed using equipment and enclosures already on site.
How it works:
· Animals are all housed in appropriate sized enclosures for their species and number (as defined by our normal codes of practice, e.g adult bearded dragons are always housed in 4ft enclosures).
·
All animals are housed in separate enclosures
unless they normally live together. We DO NOT mix boarding animals with one
another nor with our own stock.
·
Prior to occupancy all enclosures have been
thoroughly disinfected with veterinary disinfectant and in the case of reptile
enclosures will have been fumigated with Callington mite treatment spray.
·
Fresh substrate is always used and in durations
over 4 weeks (or if badly soiled) will be changed at no extra cost.
·
Substrate type can be designated by the owner or
if not specified our recommended substrate for the species in question will be
used. (However, please note we will not use calci-sand under any circumstances.)
·
Appropriate furnishings will be provided
including branches, plants, moss boxes, water-bowls and hides etc all of which
will have previously been disinfected with veterinary disinfectant and
Callington.
The Service we provide:
1.
Animals will be provided with fresh water daily
and appropriate food when required, this is dependent upon species, size/age
and in accordance with any specific dietary preferences or requirements.
Specifics of feeding regimes’ can be discussed with staff dependent upon the
individual animal/animals.
2.
Animals will be subject to daily health
inspection.
3.
All vivariums are fitted with UV lighting (bulbs
under 6 months old and of appropriate strength for species in question).
4.
All vivariums (where required dependent upon
species and housing style) are fitted with thermostatically regulated heat
sources fitted with guards.
5.
Animals are housed in designated holiday
enclosures, not in the main shop.
