Hi all,
i just moved house, and despite assurances that my animals would be fine (was vague on numbers but definitely said they were plural!), i just found out that the animals are NOT ok, and that i have to either get rid of them or move out (or as suggested by the agent, change the locks and lie, which i don't think is a good option at all).
so i don't have a timescale, but i'm guessing ASAP is when i need to sort this out.
getting rid of the animals is just not an option (my list below is out of date, counting cohabiting groups as one, i have probably under 200 creatures, mostly tarantulas, some scorps, 9 snakes and 2 centipedes).
i am able to replace myself in this flat, just pending finding someone who passes the basic checks, but i need to then find myself a place to stay.
this isn't the greatest situation for the animals at all, as most are still packed in travel tubs, and i did have a few deaths already!
i have to emphasise that this is the agent's fault, not mine...and as such i'm going to try to make him work for me as much as possible to sort this. i've already had over a month of nightmare trying to move, only having to do it again
i've had offers to board them all in Wales, a few old world species in Isle of Wight, and a few in Tunbridge Wells, but the problem with all these is the time to post or transport...but i may have no choice...unless someone living closer (ie in London, or not far from it) had a bit of extra space and didn't mind boarding them just til i get myself settled. I'd pay the cost of food, naturally, plus some extra to electricity, if someone able to do that.
this is a horrible situation, both for me and the creatures, so if anyone has anything to say or suggest or whatever, it'd be appreciated!
