Pet carrier recommendations needed
- Thread starter catbalou

This is the one I use. It is robust and also has a top opening as well as front. The top opening makes it easier to lift the rabbit in and out.
Pretty much any standard cat carrier will do the job. I would go for any of the hard plastic ones (as opposed to soft fabric ones, which could be chewed through while in transit, and offer no protection against curious dogs / cats / people). The rest is largely up to your budget. I tend to use ones like this, which are cheap, easier to store as they unclip into 2 sections, but are robust enough for transportation. Water bowls can be clipped on the door mesh (although I wouldn't travel with it full). Hay is kept reasonably well inside.
The other consideration which sometimes makes life a bit easier is to have a second, top opening section. It can be easier to get a reluctant pet out, or enables access within the carrier if they can't be handled.

Top opening carriers are very useful. The ones I use most are those, although I do have a variety of carriers accumulated over the years. Just make doubly sure that they are closed properly before lifting them up.
Hard carriers make useful bases / nest boxes as well, particularly after surgery. Just take the front door off.
I always use a good layer of hay on top of a newspaper for transit, and it can remain as a temporary bed for a few days if needed. A heat pad can be added under the hay in colder weather / for poorly bunnies.
