In one way, frequent travel is better than occasional travel: they'll get used to it, and will stop hating it quite so much. The first couple of times, they'll really be freaked out, but once they get used to it they'll relax a bit. Mine have been on a few trips that length ... they don't love it, but they're ok with it now.
They MUST have food, though: both veggies and hay. At first they probably won't eat it, but the more you can get them to eat the better. It's not a choking hazard. If they eat at all, they'll nibble and chew carefully, just like they do at home.
Well that's good to hear! The pair I'm looking at is a 2 year old and a juvenile so I'm hoping the young one at least will get used to travel. As for the food, I would tend to agree with you and we used to tell rabbit owners to put hay in their carriers so I don't know what that was about. Thanks for your help!
Hey I just saw this! Thanks for the tip about the dowels, I'm going to try that. This is a group of 3 girls so hopefully they'll be content and not mess around too much. I ended up buying a couple of Midwest cages when they were on sale because I wasn't sure, but I think I'm going to switch over to my old bunny's x-pen with a mat--Seems like it'll be easier to clean. Thanks again!
