those of you with giants

how do you get them to the vets? :? I picked Bella up the other day and I couldn't believe how much she weighs now, not sure I could lift her in a carrier :shock:
 
In a carrier :) Know what you mean though as Archie is about 7.5kg & feels like a ton weight!! If I can I always try to make sure my hubby can come with me for muscles!!! ;) :lol:
 
maybe a lead n harness to the car and then put her in a carrier there...then get her out on lead n harness!!
or....get a pet stroller with a lift off carrier....and hope you can get it off the bloomin wheels!:oops::lol:
 
In a carrier! Its a nightmare! My 2 have just been for their 2 lots of jabs in the last month, and the vet came out to the waiting room to carry them in for me! He knows how much i struggle :oops: Ronnie is 6.5kg and Lola is 6kg! Very heavy to carry :lol: xXx
 
I had never thought about that! I have enough trouble lifting my dwarf lop, I dont think I would ever manage a giant!!!

can you get like pushchair things with a pet carrier on? In fact, that must be a massive carrier to fit a giant in anyway! My brain hurts just thinking about it. :lol:
 
I have a dog carrier thing that he sleeps in in the kitchen but you can carry it... but he's still too heavy... so he bounces to the car in his harness then i lift him into the dog thing on the seat. too worried to let him bounce into the vet in case a dog eats him (he would probably eat the dog tho) so the nice vet comes out to help me. i tell him he has a butt like beyonce. i cant believe how much he weighs. but i love him. :love:

not to hijack the topic, but does anyone else's bun find their glasses offensive??? i bend down to say hello, dexter licks my forehead and then pulls my glasses off my face and has a little binky round the room. how wude.
 
My two (french lop and a 'v big' lop) are 9kg between them and I can only just carry that, so I don't know how you lot cope!
 
I use just a regular pet carrier.

The main vet branch has a car park right outside so that's not so bad but the little branch near me is a 500 metre walk from the car park. Not far, but when you're carrying over 10kg's of rabbit and ginormous plastic box, it's a long old way! :lol:

I normally fall through the door too, and then normally simultanoiusly trip over a dog of some sort. I'm very graceful! :roll::lol:
 
I use a big plastic tub from wilkinsons,it hasnt got a lid but my bunnies are very good and dont jump out.I have used the black recycling box before
 
I have a carrier big enough but to get from my front door to the car I have to trudge up a hill! I guess I could try the harness and lead and put her in the carrier in the car it would be cheaper than a stroller.

I had frenchies before Bella and although heavy with a frenchie and Splodge in the box it was manageable (Splodge is a diddy 3kg). But Bella is sooo much heavier, I'll be interested to find out how heavy :shock: and the worrying thing is that she is still really slim so must have more weight to put on, she's only 10 1/2 months! mine both need there myxi vaccs will most likely book them in over the Easter hols :D
