Travelling to Canada With A Rabbit

Travelling to Canada from another country can be a very exciting experience because Canada is a very beautiful place with a lot of culture. And depending where you go in Canada, you can experience things such as cold weather like you have never experienced before. That is definitely something that someone from a warm climate may not be able to handle too well. Nevertheless, there are many great places to visit. For instance, the 2010 Winter Olympics are taking place in Vancouver and a lot of individuals will be travelling to that area to see the games.

If you are planning a long ride or a move and you are taking your pet rabbit with you, there are several things you have to consider. Traveling through Canada by car with your pet rabbit may not be as easy as you think if you never made him travel before.There are at least 3 facts you must know about before you made that decision.

Rabbits are sensitive to overheating If you are planing on traveling in the summer months, remember to never leave the rabbit in the car while you stop, even if it is only for a quick one.Rabbits can overheat very easily and in just for a few minutes, they can suffocate and die.If your car does not have air conditioned,prepare in advance some frozen bottles of water that you put in the carrier wrapped in small towels so the rabbit can lean against them to cool off.

Take time to get him out to exercise If you will be traveling for several days in a row, get your rabbit out every night and take him in the motel room with you.Lay a large towel on the bathroom floor and install his litter box, food and water.Put the pet carrier on the doorway with the open door facing the bathroom and let him out so you can go for dinner without worrying about him destroying anything.

Remember that if your rabbit is not used to traveling through Canada by car with your pet rabbit could be risky. Some bunnies can get really stressed out and stop eating for over 24 hours, witch could be dangerous for their lives.Unless you have no other choice, if you are moving for example, it would be safer for your little friend to find him a keeper while you are going away.
