pepe Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I thought I would ask you lovely forum folks about moving animals when moving house. Its all thoughts at the moment, but if we were to move I have no problem with the dog, but how do you move rabbits, especially if its a 3 to 4 hour journey sorry if this is a silly question, I'm sure some of you have moved more than a couple of rabbits before! But I tend to worry I suppose, especially over my pets any advise would be brill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Hi No real advise I am afraid,but if it were me I would contact the local vet to see what they had to say on the matter. Maybe they would suggest a mild sedative or something to make the move easier? I guess the simple thing would be a nice comfy large pet carrier,heaps of straw,food & water in the back of the car.

Martin B Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Could you move them whilst they were in a hutch. So that they have room to move, a water bottle and food? Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 A dark box is best for bunnies as they stress easily Pack it with straw they will be fine for a few hours without water and it is best not to keep checking them as this will stress them too You can get a sedative jab from the vet but it really shouldn't be necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 They need food though - our vet said rabbits have to keep eating otherwise they can have bowel trouble. Hay is enough though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 They should be fine in a pet carrier with a water bottle and some hay Mandy. I brought mine back from the breeder like that and they were happy as sand boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
