Question
I am planning on moving, and I will be travaling by plane, and I want to take my rabbits and farret with me but I was wondering if the presure is to much for the little critters?

Answer
Dear Ashley,

Of course you cannot put them in the same carrier, and that means you may have to fly with someone else so you are allowed *two* in-cabin carriers.  I would NEVER allow a small animal to be shipped in cargo.  Horror stories abound, and in summer, it could be a death sentence.

Be sure you fly on an airline that allows rabbits (and ferrets).  I know Delta does, so I'd book with them.  And be sure they are booked to be *in the cabin* with you.

I've traveled with rabbits many times this way and have had no problems.

Hope this helps.
