Question
Dear Kathryn,
What do you transport your hamster in if your going to the Doctor and other things?

Answer
Hi,
At most pet shops you can buy small travelling containers. Make sure they have plenty "breathing holes", so his breathing is not laboured in any way. Make sure he does not get too warm, or indeed too cold, while on the journey. Give him plenty water for the journey, as well as a small amount of food and bedding. Try to avoid journeys longer than 1 hour each way.
Good luck,
Kathryn
