So I'm umming and ahhing about going to my mum's for my birthday, she lives in a gorgeous massive townhouse in the Cotswolds, it's the 3 hour drive from me. I would be there from a Tuesday evening (late) until Sunday afternoon when I'd come back.
I would either have to find a sitter for the bunnies, and worry about them the whole time, or, bring them with me. I can set them up in mum's garden room (actually a stunning 2 story converted stable, still with stable and trough in situ, cobbles and hay loft with plants, she uses it to grow veges on, as hundreds of little vegs!). I could set them up in there really nice, it isn't heated so they won't have an issue with suddenly dealing with central heating, and it can be closed off so the cat can't get in. They can't go outside, mum has a billion cats in the neighbourhood, as well as getting badgers, foxes and deer in the garden. She once found half a deer leg by her compost heap, bunnies wouldn't stand a chance out there!
Now the bunnies aren't fans of car rides, they sit huddled at the back of the box very quietly. They do poop in there. But settle quickly when they're home. I would take a lot with me, like all their blankets and litter trays and toys. But would it be unfair on them?? If I covered the box would it be better? The box only fits on the back seat.
They don't show interest in food but the box does come with a little clip on food bowl/water bowl so I could stop half way at Oxford services and see if they want some water.
Is this just a pipe dream and be cruel??
Anyone else do similar??
Stress! This is probably the last time this side of Xmas I'll get to go over to my mums.
