Ideation 8,216 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Not ideal but should be ok. Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Should be ok if you let them out for a while Quote Link to post
scothunter 12,609 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 aye they will be fine mate just let them out a few times.just make sure ite secure cz they will try their damnest to scratch a way out lol Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Just a thought - if you leave them outside make sure they are secure - apart from them scratching a way out and escaping you gotta watch for anything - cat or dog that would have a go at them, possibly roll the box over etc. Also make sure they are not somewhere someone could walk off with them.

Leeview 788 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 If its only for 1 night they'll be ok left at home instead of cooping them up in a travel box IMHO Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post

deanflute 550 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Clean them out, Leave plenty of water for them and some food (dry in this climate) and they will be fine left at home if it's only for 1 night, Saves alot of messing around Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 if it was only for one day and night, Id leave them at home, just put extra water bottles up, and feed twice as much food, dry and rabbit have left ferts like this for a weekend before with no troubles Quote Link to post

The one 8,451 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Ive done that before went away a couple of days ferreting and fed the rest a fresh rabbit and a frozen one and they came to no harm Quote Link to post
Davidh 5 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I agree with most post, leave them at home, can't a neighbour pop round to top up water when needed. It would be less stressful all around. Quote Link to post
