Question
hi heather...can you tell me the best way to move from state to state with three hamsters and more on the way sometime soon?...i will be traveling about 4 hrs and am not sure if i should separate them or keep them together....and is it going to stress the moms-to-be out?....are they going to have problems with the pregnancy after the move ot what?....

Answer
Thats a good question, what I would do is go out and get some of the small plastic carrying cases from the pet store to keep the hams in separately (keep your receipt and return them when your done, lol), the less area they have to bounce around in, the safer they will be. The less physical moving they do, the less they will be stressed also.
