Traveling.... ?

[liveurlyfe21]

Uhm, this might be dumb, but any good suggestions on how to travel our baby veiled to the vet on tuesday?

Obviously we cant bring his entire set up, I was just curious how others do it, since it is our first trip and I'd really like to not stress him toooo much...

Thanks!

There are various ways to do it. Keeping it dark and giving him something to grip on to are key. Some put a twig in a paper bag, I use one of those clear plastic shoeboxes you can buy, put paper towel in it and an artificial vine, then wrap the lot in a towel. If it's dark, he'll sleep, if he has something to grip on to, he'll feel secure, so it should keep the stress to a minimum.

I would add, keep it "damp". Any paper towels, etc. you use as padding, I would dampen it with water. Not dripping wet, but good and damp.

But I'm new, don't know nuttin'. That said, that's what I would do.

Oh that's true, I'd forgotten that, thank you, I misted the paper towel too.

It won't be as bad as you think, but it will feel like driving your brand-new baby home from the hospital for the first time, when you notice every bump in the road and curse traffic!

You don't say where you live. Last time I visited vet I put a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel in the bottom of the bag with the Cham box on top. I am in uk.
