Anyone travel with bunny rabbits?

How funny...that is exactly what I did! X-pen in a bunk.

Oh they do chew anything they can reach!

Wow. How things change...
Moses is no longer with us. RIP buddy.

Our bunny, that we thought was a she is a he... LOL. Its all good, he's a great little companion and very well behaved as long as you keep chords out of his path. He's alot bigger now, about 12 lbs.

We found a great way to give him space, have room for a lil bed, his litter box, and be comfortable. We are using a dog exercise pen to close in our bunk. It worked great!



BTW. The kennel is actually for the little dog, not the bunny. The dog and the bunny are good friends.

Went and took a look at the collapsible (kite like material) kennels. Though I like them, I fear the bunny will dig a hole right through them so its a no go. Same goes for the tougher material type, though she wouldn't dig through the material, the "window" would be easy to rip through. I think we'll stick with a cage. After she grows a little more I may make a custom cage out of wire shelf panels.

Thanks for the horse item tips. I'll tell the wifey about it.

Yes, the DW read about the vinegar. We bought the Rabbits For Dummies book and it had that in it. Good little book.

My bunnies never had an issue traveling. You do have to be careful of the temperature and I Ould use a regular plastic "pet taxi" carrier as those are harder to eat. Real hay is best and Theybloke their hay where they potty (in the wild they would not go where they rest but bwait til they are grazing) so I found that a covered tub made a great potty box AND I put the hay in one end. Voila no more hay everywhere and pretty much perfect potty compliance.

Horse stall wood pellets make an awesome litter btw. Like pine fresh but way cheaper. I ended up finding the best timothy hay online. Pricey but zero waste.

Have you already learned the value of white vinegar?

The bunny is using a litter box now about 98% of the time. Only the occasional little jelly bean slip. The dog's usually eat them before we can get a chance to pick them up... LOL---GROSS!!. Amazing how fast she's learned pretty much on her own.

The biggest pain is keeping her from chewing on the drywall and anything else in the house when she's loose. She has so many toys, but just like most baby animals and kids they want what they are not suppose to have.

I found horse hay cubes for them to chew on stops the chewing on your stuff! Find a feed store near your house for them. Those little Walmart hartz mountain bags of them are pure junk and nasty AND when I saw the price for a couple of cubes.:S

You can buy '50 lbs' of 'fresh' hay cubes for horses for the same price as 6 cubes in a bag!!!

Most feed stores will have a paper bag by the lb on the shelf of loose cubes. Cleaner than giving them hay which really messes up the cage. The cubes are neat and tidy as they chew the edges down till the cube is a nub. And it is good for their teeth, chewing habits and nutritionally good for them. You can pick up those salt rounds there also which is equally important. The red ones have minerals they need in it.

Four years ago at Sleeping Bear NL I saw a rabbit being taken for a walk on a leash. Years ago someone who lived near us did the same thing. Sorry I did not talk to the people about how they trained them.
And we took our cats for walks on a leash at campgrounds and they were tied up to sit near us when we had a fire. I assume you can do the same with rabbits.

Pet Sport soft crates at Walmart.

And a cat litter box. All rabbits will go in a cat litter box. They are one of the cleanest animals even above the cat.
Rabbits will also use the exact same spot in the cat litter box every single time.

Awww your animals are all adorable! That's all I got... if I knew anything at all about bunnies I would share.
