Cookie and Taffy
New Born Pup
Hello, we are going on holiday soon and we can't take our piggies with us. Does anyone know what we could do which doesn't include giving it to a friend? We will be going for around a week. Thank you

Your options are to look for a small animal boarding service near you. You would take your piggies to them for the duration of your holiday to be looked after.
Have somebody come in a few times a day to feed, water and clean them out.

I usually have a pet sitter come in, but I have a selection of animals and this is the easiest solution for me. It isn't cheap though.
Having a friend or neighbour pop in once or twice a day can be a good solution if you don't have access to a boarding facility near by.
Asking at the local vets is often a good place to start.

Great suggestions above. Local vets are a good place to start as they will know of the reputable boarding places near you. If there is a local reputable rescue near to you they may offer boarding, too, or be able to recommend boarding for you. Alternatively you have the option to have a pet sitter come in a couple of times a day to tend to them.
My own piggies go to a small pet boarding hotel when we go away and they have always been very well looked after there.
If you are holidaying in the UK it may also be worth seeing if your accommodation would let you bring them with you. I know that some rental cottages will allow this.
