I was just wondering why breeders use those wooden carrying boxes when going to shows etc, rather than the plastic ones you can buy in shops?

thanks

Is it to do with the fact the Rabbits are likely to spend quite a long time in them and the plastic ones may get too hot? :?

Probably orginally tradition and they are sturdier than plastic and as Jane says better insulated. Plus they're thicker/darker so will muffle sound and be less stressful for the bunnies.

With the piggie ones they can be made with lots of ventilation holes and also can be divided off so you can have space for 4 individual ones or 2 pairs or even just as one large container.

These ones are far more adaptable than the plastic pet carriers.

Probably ads in the back of fur & feather. Downside is they are heavier to carry

I just had a look in a couple of old copies of Fur & Feather and there is nothing as far as I can see.

There is a man in Epsom who makes guinea pig wooden carriers, I Would think he probably would do rabbit carriers as well
