I have been looking at getting a bigger and better pet carrier because the one I currently have isn't very good when trying to get a rabbit in and out!

I really like the look of the 'PET CARGO CABRIO RABBIT CARRIER '. However it seems to be £35. :? Does aybody have any idea where I could buy them and an approximate price?

Thanks

Tanya.

I prefer the ones with a door in the roof. It makes it easy to get buns out that way.

Yes, thats like the one I want!

I was just wondering how much I should pay and the best place to get one?!

I just got a bog standard one from Wilkos - it's tacky placky but big enough for the two together and cost about £13. I leave it out (without the door on) and stuff it with hay/blankets and they use it as a hidey. Does the job just getting them to and from the vets.

Cant remember if it is the medium or large:

£35 is quite steep. I recond you could find one for £20-£25.

zooplus have quite a few

This one would be good for a single bunny:

£35 is steep. :shock: I only paid about £25 for mine from a local pet shop a couple of years ago.

Pet planet were doing them for £23 last time I looked but I just checked and the price seems to have shot back up. :shock:

Even the cheapest on ebay is £29, which is probably the absolute maximum I would pay for it. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HAGEN-PET-CAR...9?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Cats&hash=item1c176b5b19

It's a brilliant carrier though; I like the way the top opens right up on it. Some of the other carriers with a top opening are just a lid that opens, so you're still squeezing a possibly wriggly bunny through a small gap iyswim.

It was bugging me how even stupid me could be that dim. :lol: I just checked my history and my search actually took me to the old version at £35.

I still should have realised it was the old colour and out of stock, but at least I'm not as blind as I thought. :lol::lol:

They look good, but do you think a bun could get out? Being that its all plastic.

No way - it's fairly hefty plastic & there's nothing on the inside for buns to unclip/turn/un-do

I agree. :thumb:

The only real escape route is (for little buns) if you open the flap on the front that holds the food bowls .... I did it once and Bubbles tried to squeeze out of the little hole. :shock: :lol:
