Help!! Really worried

[Robodwarfs18]

So tomorrow I'm going away for a short break and don't worry, hamsters and rabbits will be looked after, but what's worrying is that a family memeber is staying in the house (where the hams and buns live) while I'm away and they think they can just take my babies out the cage and play with them but my robo's aren't tame, my syrain is good at escaping when he's out the cage and rabbits in general don't like to be lifted and carrying. They keep teasing me saying that they are going to take them out because I'm gone. I'm reallg freaking out. Help!! Thanks xx

Whoa, that is completely out of order. You need to let them know in no uncertain terms that you do not give permission for this person to handle them! I'm sure you already have but can you get your parents involved or something?

They might just be teasing you but I can only imagine how miserable you'd be worrying about this while you're away, you need to ask them to be serious for just a minute I have an uncle who would tease me all the time and when I was younger he would just keep at it until I got really upset, he didn't know when to just stop and leave it so maybe I'm projecting a bit here...

Thanks Shannon. I'm going to ask my parents about it. The bad part is the family member is supposed to be re-filling the hamster's bottles, now I do not trust them. Wish me luck x

Firstly, you need to set some ground rules with this person. Yes that person might be teasing you but, it's worrying you and it's not right. Make a list for this person and go through this list and be sure to answer any questions you might be asked.
You know exactly what your rabbits and hamsters like and don't like, make it clear you don't want them being taken out the cage and if you need to put a list of do's & don'ts on each cage.
Tell this person exactly what their duties are to your pets.
