overnight accomodation

[ellir0305 9]

i have been invited to a friend permission which is about 50 miles away for a couple of days hitting the pest population on a veg farm hard. this will entail the stinkers for good hard day on the rabbits as well as some day time and lamping shooting with both the air rifles and the shotties being as there are a lot of problem pheasants on there.

 

anyways as i will be staying over for a couple of days the stinker are going to need some form of temporary accomodation for the duration of the stay as they cant be living in there ferret box for all that time, i was wondering what the best thing would be or if anyone has done a similar thing and sussed it already, the 'house' needs to be fairly compact as they will be out loads and it needs to fit into me other mates hatchback along with all the nets and gear and a selection of firearms.

 

oh yeah and it doesnt need to be overly cost as it will be inside a shed so just secure with room to stretch there paws and relieve themsleves as well as room for there nesting box

 

thanks atb

A colapsable small animal crate should do you for a couple of nights. They fold flat and you'll only need a small one for a night or two.

yup, a plastic carrier will do fine, stick a water bottle on it, and bob's ya uncle

i was just a bit worried about them escaping, but if its been done before i guess thats no problem. i will have to get myself one then because i dont think my mum would be too happy about me knicking the cat's one (unless the smell would come out with bleach?)

 

i was originally thinking about a dog crate or something but i think the meshes might be too big

 

thanks for the help guys.

I tried a small dog crate, they were out of it within seconds

 

Im sure bleach would remove any smells, save you buying one

Problem with a dog crate (the fully folding ones) is that the bars are either big eonough for them to escape, or just not quite big enough in which case you may get a trapped fert.

 

I've got a small hutch that I keep as a holiday home. It's not something that the three of mine can live in comfortably for more than a week but it suffices for "kennels" at a friend or relative's come holiday time.

A small cat carrier finer mesh and if there in a shed it wont really matter

my only worry is the small size might mean they shit and eat in the same place and i dont want to be cleaning it out 2 or three times a day

I got a pigeon crate from b+q and a few adjustments later thats what i use but i use it in august /september for travelling in the car when its hot no bad for a £1 in the end of range sale

Get a small cage for around £20-£30 leave it at your mates for the next trip

sheet of cheap ply cut it all to size before you go drill the holes etc-- cordless and a few screws knock it up when you get there .. should lay flat in the car boot ..

thats actually a really good idea, i might have to have a look into that. but i think the wood mighht work out quite expensive. the one i think you got a loody bargain there mate you should have bought the load and sold them on.
