Hi! My name is Sarah and I am here at Extra Care Animal Hospital in Davey, Florida, today and on behalf of Expert Village.com, I am going to educate you a little bit about owning a guinea pig. As far as transporting your guinea pig goes, any small cat or dog crate is completely appropriate for transporting your guinea pig. There are a number of carriers out there on the market that are designed specifically for small animals and birds. Any of those carriers would be fine. You want to make sure any carrier for your guinea pig is escape proof and you always want to inspect the carrier before putting your guinea pig in to make sure that there are no signs of wear and tear and that it is nice and clean. If you would like more information about Extra Care Animal Hospital, you can look up our website at www.extracareanimalhospital.net.
Why don't we stuff you into that thing!
Why don't we stuff you into that thing! says angela, If you use a bigger carrier, the animal will slide all over the place during transport, I know, I used to use a cat carrier and my poor pig would get distressed in the car. much better to use one, purpose built as shown, it may be a tight fit getting pig in, but less stress long term. Try being positive angela!!!
