Junior Guinea Pig
So it's looking like we might have to bring our pigs with us over Christmas to our parents' house. I'm looking into what looks to be the only boarding place near town to house them but I'm unfamiliar with the organization and want to be prepared in case I really do need to bring them with us.
My two 11 month old boys live in an extra large Living Worlds cage. Unfortunately this is way too big to bring, and the only smaller cage I have is 17x32 inches. It's the cage the pet store in town gave me before I got my boys a properly sized cage.
I'm worried about my boys being in this cage for potentially 3-4 days.
- Could being in this smaller cage, in an unfamiliar home with unfamiliar scents cause them to fight? They've been a bit hormonal lately but it hasn't been more than an ear nip here and there. No fights or blood. There would be times where no one would be at the house to monitor them as we go out on Christmas.
- The car ride is about two hours. They would each be in a separate carrier and held on my fiancé's lap while I drive. Is this too long for pigs in the car?
Ganon, Dibbler, and I say thanks in advance
I read the sticky here for traveling. It's very informative but I couldn't find answers to these questions.
