transport rabbits to shows

[mistyjr]

I feel really DUMB :hiding:... We have a show coming up in July 10th in my local city. Anyways. I dont have transport carrier cages.. I just have my black cage(pic below, rabbits arent mine).

I can load my babies that are selling in that cage.. But I dont have transport cages to use for my other rabbits to be shown and a few other rabbits that I am selling.

I have my cages that the bunnies are in now to take with.. But I feel so dumb and stupid be caring my rabbits in regular hand-built cages into a show.

What does everybody bring?? Any people that take rabbits that dont have transport carrier cages??

(My cages)

When I am taking a large amount of rabbits I use transport cages, dog crates, and I have even used there normal living cage before.

I've seen some newbies use pet carriers, but 99.99999999999999% of exhibitors use these carrying cages:

You can make quick carrying "cages" out of laundry baskets (one tied on top of the other with a towel on the bottom.

I know about carrier cages.. I want to get a few of them. But just havent had the money yet...

But I do have a cat carrier that I can use too..

Im so embarrassed carrying my rabbits in non-carrier cages.. :embarrassed:

When I transported my three I made a nic cube carrier in the back of my van. Each rabbit got a 1x1 cube attached to each other and then I put a towel down with some hay. It worked well for the hour drive.

Do you have a picture of it??

 

[countrybuns]

nope I just slapped it together in the back and took it down once we were home. Do you have Nic cubes at home? If so I can explain how I did it as it really was quite simple.

 

[mistyjr]

No, NIC here!

Make sure to read the show brochure - here (at least the shows I've attended) require the carrying cages to have solid bottoms so the poop doesn't come out on the floor.

I forgot to add that I have used cat carries from Walmart - but usually I knew already I had the money to buy a carrier once I got to the show.

[mistyjr]

[whaleyk98]

I only recently bought my first show carriers, and used pet taxis or small living cages to transport before that.
