New Companion Animals (NCAs) — rabbits, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, ferrets — also need safe and comfortable transport. Here's what you need to know.
Transport adapted to each species
Each small animal has its own needs: a rabbit appreciates a space where it can lie down, a bird needs calm and partial darkness to remain serene, a rodent requires good ventilation and an escape-proof closure.
Key criteria
- Ventilation: essential for all NCAs.
- Ultra-secure closure: small animals are escape artists.
- Adapted size: neither too big (will cause shaking) nor too small.
- Stable and comfortable surface at the bottom of the carrier.
Reduce travel stress
Acclimate your pet to the carrier in advance, keep the journey calm, avoid extreme temperatures, and place a familiar piece of fabric inside. For a bird, partially covering the carrier can soothe it.
Which model to choose?
Many of our cat carriers and crates are also suitable for small animals, thanks to their ventilation and secure closures. Check the size appropriate for your companion.
