 The seller of the rabbit will often provide a container in which to take the rabbit(s) home in. However, this is not always the case and so it is best to take a suitable carrying box in which to transport the rabbit home when going to collect the rabbit(s).
For short journeys a cardboard box with air holes may suffice although this is not ideal, and certainly not suitable for longer journeys, as rabbits can chew their way out and urine can soak through and weaken the bottom of the box causing it to break.
A plastic storage container with a wire top, or a carrying box specially for transporting rabbits are best used, particularly for longer journeys.
A layer of woodshavings should be placed inside the container to cover the floor and a couple of large handfuls of hay should also be placed inside. It is not practical to attach a water bottle to any carrying container as the motion of transporting the rabbit will cause any water bottle to leak and so it is best instead to place a handful of fruit or vegetables in the box to provide the rabbit with moisture whilst it is travelling. |
