Dragonfly Exotic Pet Boarding

Pocket Pets

Do you worry about your small pet when you're away?

If so, then you have found the right place, we are gentle and kind in giving your small friend the care and attention they deserve, we are here to

provide boarding and loving care for your small animal friend so that you can relax while your pet enjoy their time. Our aim is to provide a happy and stress free stay for your pet in a calm, caring environment.

Accommodations

Your pet will be housed indoors in our spectacular “Fuzzy Butts Cottage”. This cottage is kept cool in summer but snug in winter. For all our fuzzy

butt nocturnal friends this environment is kept quiet to enjoy their daytime naps without any disturbances.

Fuzzy Butts are housed in individual custom created cages, these are safe, secure and roomy with hidey-holes for the shy and retiring. Your pet

will arrive to find it's home fresh, clean, ready and waiting for it with plenty of soft, warm bedding and somewhere for it to hide away to feel safe ifit's feeling a bit shy. Fuzzy Butts will be continually monitored throughout their stay, we know how important it is to observe small animals for any subtle changes in behavior that could indicate any distress.

Playtime and activitie time is set aside each day for one-on-one interaction with our caretakers for cuddles and lots of fun for all, including a

leg-stretch and a roam within the cottage for those with a desire to explore. Each pet has the opportunity for a free-range exercise-ball to run

around within the cottage. We provide cardboard box mazes, tubes, exercise-balls and hiding places to make life more interesting.

Food and Water

We offer home grown herbs, and supply quality species appropriate foods, if this is not the usual diet we ask that you bring along your usual one,

each cage is equipped with a water drip bottle.

Hygiene: Cages are cleaned and freshened as needed, each cage is disinfected between friends.

rich veggies and eggs, a vitamin supplement is added to their feed.

Hamsters: We provide a quality hamster food mix complete with all the minerals, vitamins and nutrients these omnivores

require. In addition, carrot, lettuce, sunflower seeds, peanuts and cabbage are fed. A well-rodent vitamin supplement is

added to their feed.

Gerbils: We offer a complete gerbil food bursting with delicious, nutritious ingredients, like alfalfa, pumpkin seeds, and

carrot. It includes protein (for growth), carbohydrates (for energy), fiber (for digestion) and vitamins and minerals (for healthy

bones and teeth). A well-rodent vitamin supplement is added to their feed.

Fancy Mice: We offer a complete mouse food bursting with the best combination of clipped or rolled oats, mixed corn, laked maize and dried crushed peas. Dog biscuits give the mice something extra to gnaw on and are quite nutritious. Root

crops such as carrot, turnip and swede are good and filling. Occasionally a bowl of bread soaked in mice milk provides

a welcome change being a good source of vitamin B and calcium. A well-rodent vitamin supplement is added to their feed.

ingredients, like alfalfa, yucca extract, timothy hay, and rose hips which is low in fat and high in protein and fiber to keep peak

condition. This is augmented with a supply of fresh hay to provide essential roughage. Chewing on pieces of untreated, wooden bfacilityes and pumice cubes is something they love to gnaw and helps to keep their teeth nice and short. Supplemented with

fresh water daily.

Flying Squirrels/Sugar Gliders: We offer a variety of nuts, seeds, fruits and both dry and moist foods like Mazuri and

Insect Eater Diets such as mealworms, hornworms, silkworms. A variety of fresh veggies and the occasional treat of hard boiled

egg adds a bit of protein to their diet, a supplement of calcium cuttlebone and vitamin D3 is provided in the cage with water in

a shallow open bowl.

Ferrets: These carnivores require regular high levels of dietary protein and fat to develop strong muscles, healthy bones and

to prevent illness with a negligible need for carbohydrate and fiber. We provide a complete dried food that contains all the

nutritional requirements your ferret needs. Ferrets are fed throughout the day eating small frequent meals, this is due to the

fact that they have an extremely short digestive tract and food passes through within 3-4 hours.

In every ferret cage is two no-drip water bottles, under each water bottle we keep another bowl with water

to catch the drips so the cage blankets stay dry.
