Hey all,
So I am in major need of a vacation and struggling with what to do with Jasper. I have no one in the city to help me.
My parents live in another province and are only able to commit to one week in August for looking after him. That leaves me no leeway for trying to find better prices on trips, and that specific week is horrendously expensive right now.
Next option is boarding. I've only boarded him once before, for 3 days. Felt absolutely awful but was happy it wasn't for too long.
If I take a week vacation I will need to board him for 10 days total (drop off day before, pick up day after) so I'm looking at over $250 (+~$50 more for renting a car to get him there/back), and the fact he'll be cage-bound that entire time. The boarding would be at the vet and they don't take them out of the cage.
Have any of you ever boarded your birds for this length of time? I'm worried to death he'll be depressed, bored, and miserable.
Any thoughts would be appreciated...being a single birdie mommy is hard sometimes
