Anyone ever done a long move with rabbits? We've potentially got a move of 2000+ miles coming up and I've never had this situation before. I figure it's best to start asking questions now!
I'm looking at moving 6-9 rabbits, some parrots, and our ragdoll. The snakes and tortoise I can ship via FedEx overnight and am looking into possibilities for people to have them shipped to until I can get there and get their housing set up again for them. The warm blooded beasties I guess I could ship via airline, but I get a bit antsy at how much that would probably end up costing, plus the fact that hubby who will be at the other end won't have any idea how to set them up even if I did manage to finagle a way to have caging there for them. So it kinda looks like it might end up being a cross country drive. No biggie, I was a trucker so the actual miles don't bother me. I've never driven that far with this many animals in the cab, though.
Has anyone done anything like this before? Any tips you can share or some advice? I'm thinking minivan or cargo van rental, to have room for all these travel cages. Or would I just be better off giving away/selling/eating the rabbits and shipping the other critters? Ugh, so confusing.
