Whether you have to go to the vet, set up a new residence or go on a trip, a good transport box is essential for the well-being of your animal.

Why a transport box is so important

Rodents are sensitive animals that quickly experience stress, especially during transport. A suitable transport box ensures safety, comfort and peace. This not only makes the journey more pleasant for your animal, but also safer for you as a caregiver. Especially with rabbits, which often need annual health checks, good preparation is half the battle.

What requirements should a good transport box meet?

• Adequate ventilation: Ensure a good air supply, without draughts.
• Not too big, not too small: A box that is too large can cause sliding during transport, while a box that is too small restricts freedom of movement.
• Light-dampening base: Animals remain calmer if they see fewer external stimuli. An opaque base helps with this.
• Sturdy and safe material: The box must be gnaw-proof and sturdy, so that escape or accidents are impossible.
• Easy to open and clean: Especially useful when visiting the vet or for cleaning.

Some transport boxes also come with a top opening, making it easier to lift the animal out without any additional stress.

Frequently asked questions about transport boxes for rodents and rabbits

What size transport box do I need for my animal?

The size depends on the animal. Small rodents such as hamsters or mice need a compact box in which they feel safe. Larger animals such as rats, guinea pigs or rabbits need a more spacious box in which they can sit or lie comfortably. When choosing, pay attention to the dimensions and weight of your animal.

Can I transport multiple animals together?

In some cases yes, such as with guinea pigs or rats that live together. Make sure that the box is big enough and that the animals get along well, especially under stressful circumstances. For some animals, such as dwarf hamsters, individual transport is advisable to prevent fights.

How do I make a transport box comfortable for my animal?

Use a layer of bedding or a towel on the floor to prevent slipping. If necessary, place some hay , a hiding place or a familiar toy in the box. Provide sufficient ventilation and avoid drafts and extreme temperatures.

Can I put a towel over the box?

Yes, this can help reduce visual stimuli and stress. Always make sure that the ventilation holes are not covered and that it does not get too warm in the box.

Which transport box do you recommend for rabbits?

For rabbits we recommend a box with a sturdy construction, sufficient space and preferably a top opening. This makes handling at the vet easier and less stressful.
