Carriers for contis?

giantbunnymummy · Apr 28, 2009

Can anyone recommend a good carrier for a giant bun please? I want something big enough for Daisy (conti) and her soon to be husbun **crosses fingers, touches wood** Jester, who's only little.

At the moment Daisy has a cat carrier which she completely fills on her own and she's quickly outgrowing it. She's got a 2.5 to 3hr journey soon to go and meet Jester, so I want her to be comfy.

I've looked at Atlas 40 carriers on the web, but they don't sound that much bigger than her cat carrier, just a lot heavier!

Anyone recommend anything? :wave:

ETA: As I don't have a car it needs to be an actual carrier rather than a car box thingy you put in the boot for dogs

Would anything like this be suitable? It comes in a variety of sizes

I got a huge one from Argos last Friday for my conti and i took all three of them to the vets on saturday and ended up putting my two others into this one as it was sooo big and my conti into the old carrier i have and it was really good value, it was only about £14.69 and very big!!

Thanks Denise, will check the carriers out - they certainly look big / sturdy. I'm looking forward to seeing the buns together too, just hope Daisy doesn't sit on poor little Jester and squash him or anything! :lol:

OMG it's wonderful, I want one!!!

Unfortunately I think the o/h would kill me if I bought this as he's the one who takes Daisy to the vets and will be taking her over to BARC on the train :lol:

Thanks Kelly, I'll have a look on the Argos website, see if I can find it. The Atlas carriers I was looking at were about £65 -£100+, so £14.95 sounds like a bargain!

They are really good honestly, they look small on the site and i was quite worried but i was VERY surprised and pleased when i got it home and fixed it all up, i thought i would have to buy him a bigger one as he gets bigger but i think this will last him a very long time!

I got a huge dog crate for my two contis...it does take two to hold it though :roll:

Can't you just put our Daisy on a lead?

Not a good idea. They can get really freeked out, bolt and brake their backs. I know my two dont like dogs when we're at the vet.

Daisy will be a good girl I'm sure

Our little Alfie used to live with our British Giant Jemima & they adored each other - it was so cute to see little & large bunnies

I'm hoping Daisy will be nice too! She's so desperate for cuddles from my three cats - she chases them and shoves her head underneath any cat foolish enough to stand still for a moment :lol: - that I'm hoping when she meets a real bunny she'll be too over the moon to be naughty

I have the Atlas 40 for my two contis but I need help to move it anywhere - it is sooo heavy.
Last week mine fitted into a large cat carrier, but that was only for a short visit for their vaccs.
I don't envy you carting them around without a car - mine are like a dead weight in their carriers - about 15kilo incl the carrier!

I've just been looking again at the Atlas 40 (yesterday I was convinced it was only slightly bigger than the cat carrier I use at the moment, but I seem to have measured it wrong as the Atlas is quite a bit bigger ... might've been a cm/inches mistake

:lol

So, do both your contis fit into it comfortably?

I can't decide now between the atlas 40 and the size two of the vari kennel http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/dogs/dog_cages_carriers/carriers/plastic_cages/60777#more (bigger but lighter)

Decided to go with a stronger, more expensive carrier as I want something that should last a good few years. just don't know which one.
