- Going out into the wild blue yonder with Fluffy
- Making pet-friendly accommodations
Well, don’t let your affection
carry you away. The truth is that rabbits aren’t the greatest of travelers, and
pleasure jaunts aren’t necessary or even healthy for most bunnies. (Sorry, but
you’ll have share your travels with your rabbit by showing him your vacation
slides.) The reason rabbits don’t travel well is simple: They’re easily prone
to stress, and being exposed to new environments stresses them out. They prefer
the safety and comfort of familiar surroundings. Also, rabbits who travel are
at risk of being exposed to diseases and parasites — another reason why bunny
is best off at home.
Warning!
Take your rabbit only if the trip is absolutely necessary for him: trips to the veterinarian, relocations with you to a new home, and the like. This chapter helps you reduce your pet’s stress and keep him safe and sound when there’s just no getting around hitting the road together
Keeping Him at Home
Because traveling with your
rabbit is a last resort, your first resort is to keep your pet at home. Rabbits
take great comfort in familiar surroundings, and leaving your rabbit in his
usual place with a responsible person (either someone whom you trust or a pet
sitter) who can come by once or twice a day is your best option. Although
leaving your rabbit in your house is better, boarding is also an option if you
absolutely can’t find anyone to care for him. (See the section “Boarding your
bunny,” later in this chapter.)
Remember
The most crucial aspect of keeping your rabbit at home while you travel is finding the right person to care for your pet. Get someone who is responsible beyond question because your rabbit’s life literally depends on this person while you’re away. If you have a friend or neighbor who you trust implicitly with your rabbit, you can go this route. If the person you’re considering is under the age of 12, make sure that a parent is overseeing your rabbit’s care.
Tip
Consider your
- Boyfriend or girlfriend
- Friend or neighbor
- In-laws (no outlaws)
- Parents or adult children
- Spouse
- Trusted member of your rabbit club
- Vet technician (some do pet-sitting on the side)
- Professional pet sitter
Preparing your pet sitter
Tip
After you hire someone to take care of your rabbit, you need to prepare your home and your pet for your absence:
- Go over your rabbit’s needs with the sitter. Invite your sitter over for a visit before you’re scheduled to leave. When she’s there, give a runthrough of all duties so that she can ask questions. This is also a good time for a rabbit handling and holding lesson. If it’s someone you know well and she can’t come before you leave, give specific instructions over the phone (or leave this book open to the page that talks about holding your rabbit!).
- Create a how-to list of all the rabbit chores and dos and don’ts. Even though you’ll have verbally instructed your rabbit’s caretaker on what she needs to do, it can’t hurt to write it all down and leave it in a place where your sitter can see it. Also let the caretaker know what she should do — or shouldn’t: Don’t let the rabbit run loose throughout the house, do give her supervised exercise in a rabbit-proofed room, do be on the lookout for signs of illness (consult Chapter Nipping Common Health Problems in the Bud of this book), and so on.
- Stock up on supplies. Make sure that your rabbit’s caretaker has everything she needs to care for your rabbit properly and knows where you keep this stuff. Have a supply of hay on hand so that your caretaker won’t need to scramble to find any and have fresh vegetables chopped up and portioned in bags, ready to go in the refrigerator. Make sure that you have enough litter for your rabbit’s litter box if your bunny uses one and have plenty of fresh bedding on hand.
- Make a list of foods. If you’re going to be gone for an extended period of time, your caretaker needs to go to the store to pick up fresh foods for your rabbit. Leave behind some cash or payment instructions for the caretaker, along with a list of foods that your rabbit can eat.
- Instructions for veterinary care. Post the phone number and address of your rabbit’s veterinarian in a prominent place, with a 24-hour emergency clinic number and address alongside. Leave a signed note stating that you authorize the rabbit’s caretaker to seek veterinary attention for your rabbit in your absence and provide a means for the caretaker to pay for veterinary care. (The simplest solution may be to call your vet’s office and work out an arrangement in the event that your rabbit gets sick while you’re away.)
- Your contact information. Leave phone numbers (here’s where a cell phone is incredibly handy) and addresses where you can be reached while you’re away. Also leave the number of a local friend who’s willing to be responsible for your rabbit if you’re unreachable.
Going the professional pet-sitter route
Another route you can take is to
hire a professional pet sitter. A professional pet sitter comes to your
home to take care of your rabbit every day. That means she’ll feed your rabbit,
give her fresh water, let her out of her cage for supervised exercise, and
clean up after her. If you have other pets, you can have the pet sitter care
for these critters, too. (If you do have other pets, let your sitter know whether
your rabbit can safely be with your other pets.)
Tip
To find a reputable pet sitter, get a referral from another rabbit owner or your veterinarian. If you’re unable to get the name of a pet sitter in your area from either one of these sources, contact Pet Sitters International or the National Association of Pet Sitters, listed in the Appendix, for a listing of pet sitters near you. These organizations have standards that its members must meet. For example, they must be insured and bonded (see explanation in the following bulleted list), have experience caring for animals, and be able to provide references, to name just a few requirements.
Remember
Before you hire a pet sitter, you need to interview her and ask some important questions. Most pet sitters want to come to your home to meet you and your pet, and this is the time to pose the following questions:
- What is your experience with rabbits? Have you cared for rabbits before? If you can’t find a sitter who has rabbit experience, then get one who interacts calmly with your pet and seems to have a natural feel for being around these sensitive pets.
- How much do you charge to care for a rabbit? Do you charge per day, per visit? These details can be important, especially if you’ll be gone for an extended period of time.
- How many times a day will you come see my rabbit? At what times of the day will you come? What services are available? For example, in addition to feeding and giving fresh water, will the pet sitter sit with your rabbit during exercise time? Will the pet sitter groom your rabbit? How much extra does the pet sitter charge for these additional services?
- May I see references? Preferably get several from other rabbit owners. Call each one of these people to find out whether they were happy with the pet sitter’s work. Ask whether the pet sitter is responsible, if she took good care of the animals in question, and whether the pet owner would recommend this pet sitter to others.
- Are you bonded? If a professional pet sitter is bonded, you, as the customer, are financially protected against theft of your property perpetrated by the pet sitter. In other words, if the pet sitter steals something from your house, you’ll be reimbursed for it. Most professional pet sitters will also ask you to sign an agreement as to the services that will be rendered. A liability waiver may also be included in the agreement, holding the pet sitter free from certain responsibilities if anything happens to your pet or your home while the pet sitter is in charge. Read any agreement carefully before you sign it and make sure that you have no problem with the stipulations that the pet sitter has put forth.
Boarding your bunny
Another option for your rabbit
while you’re away is boarding in a private home. Some people, for a fee, take
in other people’s pets for short-term boarding.
Warning!
Home-boarding is preferable to placing your rabbit in a boarding kennel or a veterinarian’s office, the kind that regularly services cats and dogs. Such places are generally not hospitable for rabbits because of the close proximity of all those barking dogs.
You can locate a rabbit-friendly
boarding home through a rabbit club in your area. Contact the House Rabbit
Society (see the Appendix for contact information) and ask for a reference to a
House Rabbit Society chapter in your area. Your local club should be able to
recommend someone in your area. In addition, contact your rabbit-experienced
veterinarian’s office; they often have a list of qualified people who can board
your pet.
Tip
When choosing a private boarding situation, make sure that
- You visit the home before you commit to leaving your rabbit in the proprietor’s care.
- The home is clean.
- The rabbit’s quarters are secure, have all the comforts of home, and are safe from predators.
- You ask for references of other rabbit owners who have used the services of this home-boarder and call them. Find out whether they had a pleasant experience and whether their rabbits came back happy and healthy.
Traveling with Your Rabbit
If you find that you absolutely
have to travel with your rabbit, do it in a way that’s safe and comfortable for
your pet. Options for rabbit travel are usually limited: Cars and airplanes are
the vehicles in which rabbits are usually welcome. Whatever mode of transport
you choose, the situation must be handled carefully to keep your bunny in good health
— physical and mental — during the trip.
You also need to pack for your
bunny. (I’ve yet to meet a rabbit who could close his own suitcase.) Packing
the right items is vital to keeping bunny comfy while on the road. In addition,
keep in mind these general dos and don’ts when it comes to bunny
globe-trotting.
Travel dos
Before taking your pet on a trip,
bear the following tips in mind: These bits of advice can make the difference
between smooth travel and a cumbersome ride.
Remember
- Plan ahead. Think about the circumstances of the journey and how to best make your rabbit comfortable. (See the upcoming section “Carrier comfy” in this chapter.) If you’re flying with your pet, you need to contact the airline to make reservations for your rabbit. For overnight road trips, plan ahead by making reservations at pet-friendly hotels.
- Get veterinarian information at your destination. Before your trip, get the name and phone numbers of rabbit veterinarians in the towns where you’ll be staying. If your rabbit gets sick, the last thing that you want to do is struggle to find a qualified veterinarian.
- Consider the weather. Think about how hot or cold it will be. Rabbits can tolerate cold much better than heat. If you’re traveling by car during the summer, be sure your air conditioning is working. If you’re traveling by plane, keep in mind that your rabbit may be exposed to extreme heat during loading and while in the cargo hold, and when it comes to rabbits, heat kills. A tip for potential hot-weather travel is to place a frozen water-filled plastic drink bottle in the carrier with the rabbit.
- Get a temporary tattoo. Using a nontoxic felt marker, write your telephone number in your rabbit’s ears. This temporary ID will wear off but may come in handy.
- Use a travel carrier. Airline carriers, the best traveling case for a rabbit, come in different styles. (See what a travel carrier looks like in Figure 16-1.)
Figure 16-1: Snug and secure
— but not necessarily happy — in this wellequipped carrier.
Travel don’ts
Make sure that you do follow
these “don’ts.” Your rabbit and you will be far better off if you
Warning!
- Never leave your rabbit alone in a car, even for a few minutes. A hot car is a death trap for a rabbit. Even if the windows are rolled down, the temperature in a sun-baked car can rise at a fast and deadly rate. Leaving a rabbit alone in a car (whatever the weather) can put the rabbit at risk for being stolen.
- Don’t skimp on a carrier. Don’t carry your bunny in a box or bag. Instead, use only travel crates or carriers designed for small animals. Plastic-and-wire airline crates are an excellent choice, although some owners prefer soft nylon carriers.
- Don’t fly. Avoid taking your rabbit on airplane trips, if at all possible. Airplane trips should be reserved for relocation situations only. Most airlines don’t allow rabbits to fly in the cabin of an airplane, which is the preferred way for a rabbit to fly. Rabbits who don’t fly in the cabin are relegated to the cargo area, where they’re exposed to life-threatening stressors, such as heat, barking dogs, and rough handling.
Packing a mean bag
If you’re planning an overnight
trip, you need to pack a number of items for your traveling bunny. You need
some of this stuff while you’re en route (if your trip is longer than an hour
or so) and some after you arrive.
Tip
You can put all this fun stuff in a plastic bag or a canvas tote. Or you can go all out and get your bunny his own Samsonite. If you travel often with your pet and have a little money to spend), you can purchase a nylon pet travel bag or knapsack at a pet supply store.
Here’s what you need:
- Food: If you won’t be traveling through an area where hay and fresh vegetables are readily available, you need to pack these items for your trip. Bring a cooler, fill it with ice and the fresh, washed food your rabbit needs. Bring hay in a plastic bag to help keep it fresh.
- Water: Don’t upset your bunny’s digestive system by giving him strange water. Pack some bottled water and give that to him on your trip.
- Litter box and litter: If your rabbit is trained to use the litter box, bring his litter box along. He’ll take comfort in being able to use his familiar commode when nature calls.
- Bedding: Bring fresh bedding (whatever you use at home) for your rabbit if you’re staying overnight. He needs his bedding changed every day. (See Chapter Shacking Up with an Indoor Rabbit for information on rabbit bedding.)
- Chew items: Your bunny takes comfort in gnawing on some favorite item while he’s traveling.
- A toy or two: When your bunny gets to where he’s going, help him acclimate to his new environment with a familiar toy.
- Harness and leash: Bring your rabbit’s harness and leash with you so that you can take him out of the carrier when necessary and still have complete control over him. Chapter Putting Boxing Gloves on Your Rabbit: Training tells you about the harness and how to use it.
- Grooming tools: If you’ll be gone for a week or more, bring your rabbit’s brush and nail clippers. If you have a longhaired rabbit, even an overnight trip requires that you groom your pet during your trip, so bring along your grooming tools. Chapter Cleaning Behind Those Great Big Ears and More tells you all about grooming and its required tools.
- Rabbit vet’s contact information at your destination: If you planned ahead, you’ll have this info ready when it’s time to go.
- Identification: Equip your rabbit’s carrier with an ID tag bearing your name, address, and cell-phone number. Include the phone number of your destination in case your rabbit becomes separated from you during the trip.
- Paper towel rolls: Use for cleanup of cage or hotel room if needed.
- Carpet cleaner and white vinegar: Use for cleaning in case of an accident.
- First-aid kit. Bring along your bunny’s first-aid kit so that you’ll be equipped should he become sick or injured. (See Chapter Nipping Common Health Problems in the Bud for information on gathering the necessary first-aid supplies.)
Remember
Your rabbit’s carrier is his home away from home, but you don’t need to bring your pet’s entire cage with you. Think of his carrier as his traveling cage.
Carrier comfy
Tip
Before taking your rabbit on a trip, help him get used to his carrier. The more comfortable he feels in his travel carrier, the less stressed out he’ll be when he travels. This whole process can take up to a month, so be sure to start way ahead of your scheduled departure time.
First off, make sure that you
have a good carrier for your bunny. The best ones for rabbits are the small
airline approved plastic-and-wire carriers normally used for cats. Rabbits find
these cozy because they’re enclosed, and the construction helps protect the
four-legged occupants in the event of an accident. You can also opt for a soft
nylon pet carrier bag, although it doesn’t provide as much protection during
car travel and rabbits can more easily chew through them.
Take the following steps to
familiarize your rabbit with his carrier:
1. During your bunny’s exercise time, place the carrier in the area where he runs around.
Put some clean straw in the carrier, or your rabbit’s sleeping blanket inside. Leave the door open and place some treats inside. After your rabbit eats the treats, add more goodies about half an hour later.
2. After a few days of eating treats in his carrier, close the door while your rabbit is inside.
Keep the door shut for just a minute or two at a time and then let him come out if he wants to. Gradually increase the amount of time the door is closed until your rabbit is confined for at least half an hour.
If your rabbit shows distress at being confined, you’re moving too fast. Back up and start over by putting treats in the carrier and leaving the door open. Gradually begin to close the door for short periods of time until you work up to a comfortable confinement time for your rabbit.
3. After your bunny is okay with being inside his carrier with the door closed, take him on some short car trips.
When he first feels the car moving, he may become distressed. If he does, have someone else drive while you sit in the backseat with him. Feed him some of his favorite treats through the carrier door and talk softly to him. Keep the trips short and gradually work up to longer car rides as he becomes more comfortable.
When your rabbit is completely
comfortable confined to his carrier and traveling in the car, you’re ready for
your trip. Your carrier (or car) should be equipped with the items mentioned in
“Packing a mean bag,” earlier in this chapter.
Bunny you can drive my car
If your rabbit is just taking a
short trip to the vet, you’ll mostly likely be traveling with him by car.
That’s a no-brainer unless, of course, you live in a big city and don’t have a
car, instead relying on public transportation. If that’s the case, call a car
service or hail a taxi for a ride to the vet. Avoid subways and buses with your
rabbit if you can. The noise and commotion will scare him and are best avoided.
(Check ahead before taking your rabbit on public transportation. Some cities
don’t allow pets on trains and buses, even if they are in a carrier.)
Another reason why you may be
traveling by car with your rabbit is to move to a new home — an excellent
reason to take your rabbit on a car trip. If you move, your rabbit moves with
you.
Remember
Keep the following points in mind when traveling by car with your rabbit:
- Keep your rabbit in a secured (safety belted or otherwise) carrier while in the car. This is for your safety as well as the safety of your rabbit. In the event of an accident, your rabbit is safer in a carrier. Also, a loose rabbit can be distracting to a driver and can actually be the cause of an accident. Be sure to get your rabbit used to his carrier before taking him on a trip. (See the section “Carrier comfy,” earlier in this chapter.)
- Face your rabbit’s carrier to the side instead of from front to back of the car. This way, if you have a sudden stop or take off, your rabbit is less likely to be thrown forward into the carrier door, where he may break a tooth. A piece of carpet place in the carrier will help prevent your bunny from sliding.
- Skip the scenery. Your bunny will not enjoy seeing glimpses of the world speeding by. Cover his carrier with a towel so that he won’t become panicked by the surrounding sights (kind of like blinders on a horse).
- Protect your rabbit from heat.
- Use the air conditioner if you’re driving in hot weather.
- Make sure that your rabbit’s carrier is not in direct sun. Move the carrier to the other side of the car’s seat or put a towel over the area of the crate that’s exposed to the sun. (Be sure to leave some open areas for ventilation.)
- Provide healthy air. If you get stuck in traffic, keep the windows rolled up and the air vent closed, preferably with the air conditioner turned on.
- Take breaks on long trips. If you’re driving for a long time (more than a couple of hours), stop and give your rabbit a break. Park in the shade if the weather is hot and let him hop around inside your parked car, making sure that you block off any areas in the car where the rabbit can become wedged or hide. Be certain he has fresh water in his carrier and clean up any accidents that may have occurred while he was confined.
Bunny’s first trip home
Your bunny’s first car trip may
be the one he takes to your home. When that time comes, follow the car travel
guidelines in this chapter and then consider the following tips to make the journey
especially stress free:
- Have someone (or yourself) sit next to the bunny’s travel carrier or cage, comforting her by speaking softly and using her name. - Keep windows closed and radio off to eliminate scary noises. - Go directly home! Do not take any detours along the way — not even to introduce your new companion to your mother. - Drive carefully to avoid sudden stops or sharp turns that could throw your bunny off balance.
Once you arrive at home, your
bunny will need a quiet place to relax and adjust to her surroundings; Chapter Thinking
Like a Rabbit offers more details on this important transition.

Flying the unfriendly (for bunnies) skies
Traveling by plane is the least
favorable way to get your rabbit from one place to another. Consider the
following as you think about whether to subject your rabbit to a flight:
Warning!
- Airports are places of crowds, long waits, and security checks—all of which are stressful to humans, let alone a trapped and terrified bunny.
- Very few airlines actually allow rabbits to travel in cabins; most require that rabbits fly in the plane’s cargo hold (where checked bags are kept). There rabbits are exposed to noise, usually other animals, and great fluctuations in temperatures. There’s also the risk of being exposed to heat if the plane gets trapped on the runway for an extended period of time.
- The rare airlines that do allow rabbits to fly in cabins require that carriers fit under passengers’ seats (which is physically not possible with larger rabbits).
Tip
If your rabbit must fly by plane, certain precautions can help your pet survive the stress of the trip. Follow these guidelines if you’re planning a plane ride for your pet:
- Fly with your rabbit. Avoid sending your rabbit alone on a plane. Without you on board, the rabbit has no one to watch out for him. If the plane gets trapped on the runway for hours on end, your rabbit could die of heat exhaustion.
- Book a direct flight to reduce the amount of handling your rabbit has to endure. A connecting flight increases the chances of circumstances going awry in your pet’s journey. More than one dog or cat has been incorrectly routed and ended up in the wrong city. Also, ask for your rabbit to be loaded last, after all the checked bags have been placed in the cargo hold. If your rabbit goes in last, he’ll be unloaded first when he arrives at his destination.
- Get your rabbit a place in the cabin. Most airlines allow only one or two pets to fly in the cabin of the plane, as long as the pet’s carrier fits under the passenger’s seat. Again, not all airlines allow rabbits in the cabin. Call ahead to ask. In order to secure a place in the cabin for your rabbit, make your reservations way ahead of time.
- Do not sedate your rabbit for the flight. In the event of heat or another problem with your pet’s flight environment, tranquilizers can send your rabbit over the edge. While sedatives may sound like a great idea, you should use these drugs only under constant veterinary supervision, as reactions to these drugs in stressful situations can be unpredictable.
- Prepare your rabbit for the flight by making sure that he’s completely comfortable in his carrier. Follow the steps in the “Carrier comfy” section, earlier in this chapter, to get your rabbit used to being confined in an airline carrier weeks before you take your flight.
- Prepare your rabbit’s crate so that your bunny has everything he needs during the flight. If your rabbit is flying in the cargo hold, equip his crate with his favorite towel or blanket, a gravity water bottle attached on the inside of the crate door filled with fresh water, a good amount of fresh hay, and favorite fresh veggies to help him stay hydrated.
- Clearly mark the outside of the crate with contact information. Put more than one person’s information in case of an emergency and friendly information, such as, “Hi, my name is Thumper, and I’m a lopeared rabbit. I’m traveling for the first time, so please treat me gently.” This type of note catches the attention of the handlers. Also, put a tag on your pet’s crate with your name, address, and cell-phone number, along with care instructions in the event your pet becomes separated from you.
- Make sure that you have appropriate health certificates. All airlines and state health officials require a USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) health certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian prior to travel. Airlines vary on how far in advance they want health certificates. Certificates for interstate travel are generally good for 30 days. (Again, that’s decided by the destination state in question.). It’s best to check with your airline on their exact requirements.
- If you absolutely have to put your rabbit on a plane without you, book your pet’s flight in the cooler weather for his safety. In other words, a December trip from New York to Chicago would be a better bet than a summer trip from California to Texas.
- Use a professional pet shipper, if necessary. You may have to book your rabbit’s flight through a professional pet shipper if the airline doesn’t allow pet owners to make pet reservations (see the Appendix for more information).
Being a law-abiding bunny
Tip
If you’re taking your rabbit out of state or the country or flying on a plane, call the agricultural authorities where you’re going at least 6 weeks in advance to find out the regulations regarding rabbits in that area. You may need a USDA health certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian before you can bring a rabbit into the area, or you may find that you can’t bring rabbits into the area at all.
You can go online to the animal
welfare section of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Web site at www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/pet_travel/pet_travel.shtml
for more information on government regulations on interstate and international
travel with pets.
Some places, such as Hawaii and
the United Kingdom, have strict quarantine restrictions, requiring that
rabbits spend considerable amounts of time in a quarantine facility when
they’re first brought into the area. This separation ensures that they’re free
of illness before mingling with the rest of the rabbit population. Find out
whether the place you’re going has these kinds of rules and what following them
entails.
Staying at a Five-Carrot Hotel
These days, hotels have spas,
room service, and Internet access. What else do you need? Your rabbit! Who
cares if a mint is on your pillow if you can’t stay there with your pet? If you
have to stay somewhere overnight, you need to find a bunny-friendly hotel along
your route. Not to worry — plenty of them are out there.
Tip
Be prepared to pay a pet deposit, which is refunded if your room is void of petrelated damage after you leave. You may also have to pay a small fee (usually $5 to $15 per night) for the privilege of keeping your pet with you for the night.
Booking a reservation
The best way to find the right
hotel or motel is to use a pet-friendly hotel/motel guide. A number of these
books have been published for hotels and motels around the United States.
Although not labeled specifically for rabbit owners (some even refer only to
dog-friendly places), the pets-okay policies at these lodges are often
applicable to rabbits as well. (Refer to the guides listed in the Appendix.)
Tip
If you don’t want to go to your bookstore and purchase a guide, you can do research on the Internet. By simply typing “pet-friendly hotel” in any search engine, you get a list of Web sites to the kinds of places you’re looking for.
After you find the listing, call
the hotel to make sure that rabbits are indeed allowed. Don’t count on that
hotel or motel having available rooms on the night you plan to stay. Book while
you’re on the phone to make sure that you have a place to stay — don’t just
show up with bunny in tow!
Being a good guest
When you stay at a pet-friendly
hotel or motel with your rabbit, be a good guest. The impression you leave on
the manager and staff is vital because it determines whether future rabbit
owners will be allowed to bring their pets to this facility in the future.
Remember
Follow these guidelines when staying in a hotel or motel with your rabbit:
- Control your pet. Don’t let your rabbit run amuck in a hotel room. Rabbits are inclined to dig carpet, poop and pee under the bed, and chew on the wooden furniture if left to their own devices. By all means, give your rabbit some exercise but keep a close eye on him to make sure that he doesn’t damage the room.
- Clean up after your pet. If your rabbit has an accident on the rug, clean it thoroughly. Scoop up any hay or litter that spills out of your pet’s carrier. Avoid using room towels to clean up pet messes. If you didn’t bring paper towels along with you (tsk, tsk!), run to the store and buy some if you need them or get a bunch of paper napkins from the hotel restaurant. (Chapter Shacking Up with an Indoor Rabbit tells you how to get rid of urine on the floor.)
- Confine your rabbit. This one is for the safety of the room and your pet’s safety, too. Whenever you aren’t in the room, keep your rabbit in his carrier. You don’t want the maid to accidentally let your pet out of the room, and you certainly don’t want your rabbit destroying carpet or furniture or disappearing into the box spring or some other nook or cranny.
