if you've done this tell me all about it!Is it safe to take a rabbit on a holiday on a car?
Rabbits travel all the time for rabbit shows, your boy will be fine. Rabbits can not vomit, so your safe there. As long as your car isn't too hot then you should have no problems with him. I've taken 4 rabbits on a 5 hour car ride to a show, then drove back the next day and everyone was fine with no stops.Is it safe to take a rabbit on a holiday on a car?
He probably won't have a good time, but he'll probably survive.
THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT CAR TRAVEL


1. Rabbits cannot tolerate heat.


A Provide wet towels over cage with breeze and frozen water cartons to lie against if you have no air conditioning in hot weather.


B. Don't leave rabbit in parked car in the hottest part of the day while you are in a restaurant. You may have to get food-to-go, take food along and stop in shaded rest areas, or wait until early morning and late evening to stop to eat.


2. Rabbits do not like drafts.


Carriers should not be placed where AC/Heat blows directly on them.


3. Water bottles will often leak out all their water.


Rabbits tend to not drink while traveling. Water should be offered at all stops. Add Pedilyte to combat dehydration but be sure the rabbit will drink it. You may have to syringe/dropper feed water.


4. Rabbits may also not eat while traveling.


Offer favorite vegetables, pellets, and hay at all stops. Put some hay and pellets in carrier while traveling.


5. Try to establish some routine.


as to length of time in car each day, stopping times, feeding and exercise times


6. Strap down carriers


so they do not slide during sudden stops








I too am going to be travelling with my bunnies soon, a three hour trip also, I intend on taking a stop every hour and taking them out of their carrier to have a drink and a walk around (on leash) so they can go to the toilet and stretch their legs :)
