Transport bag 40 cm for Guinea Pigs and Rabbits

Trixie Transport Bag 40 cm for guinea pigs and small rabbits

The Trixie Transport Bag 40 cm is a shape-retaining and practical transport bag for short trips with your guinea pig or small rabbit. Think of a visit to the vet, a short move, or a moment when you want to take your animal with you safely and in an organized manner. The bag features ventilation holes, multiple ways to open, and a removable inner cushion, so your animal can sit or lie down comfortably during transport.

At DRD, when it comes to transport products, we focus primarily on calmness, accessibility, and control. A good transport bag must stand firmly, be sufficiently ventilated, and allow the owner to calmly place the animal in and out of the bag. This transport bag is therefore particularly useful for guinea pigs and small rabbits up to 5 kg, for which you are looking for a soft, easy-to-handle bag for short, supervised transport moments.

✔ Suitable for animals up to 5 kg
✔ With ventilation openings for air supply during transport
✔ Multiple openings: convenient for loading and unloading
✔ Removable inner cushion for extra comfort
✔ With detachable shoulder strap and practical outer pocket

Why choose this transport bag?

Transporting a bag can be a stressful moment for many animals. That is precisely why it is nice when the bag is calm, well-organized, and easy to use. This transport bag is shape-retaining, meaning it holds its form better than a flimsy bag. This provides your animal with more clarity and makes it easier for you to place the bag down, open it, and close it securely.

The bag has multiple opening options. You can open it at the front, side, or wider, depending on what works best for your animal. This is especially useful for guinea pigs and rabbits who prefer not to be lifted or who need to be gently taken out of the bag at the vet. The removable inner cushion provides a softer surface and can be cleaned separately.

The outer pocket is handy for small essentials, such as a snack, a cloth, a health log, or a few kibbles for on the go. For a bit of extra familiarity, you can bring along some of your own bedding, a familiar cloth, or some hay, as long as the bag remains clean, dry, and well-ventilated.

For which animals is the 40 cm Transport Bag suitable?

• Guinea pig: very suitable for one guinea pig during short trips, for example to the vet. For social guinea pigs traveling together, you must ensure that both animals have enough space and remain calm.
• Rabbit: suitable for small rabbits and dwarf rabbits up to 5 kg. Pay close attention to body size, posture, and room to move. A rabbit must be able to sit stably and not be cramped.
• Rat: only suitable for short, supervised transport when your rats remain calm and do not gnaw on textiles. For rats that like to gnaw or destroy things, a hard transport box is usually more practical.

For mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, and gerbils, this bag is usually less logical. These animals are small, fast, and are more likely to view soft materials as something to gnaw on, tear into pieces, or crawl into. For these animals, a smaller, securely sealable transport box is often more manageable and safer. For chinchillas and degus, textile is only suitable if your animal does not gnaw on it; if in doubt, a sturdy, hard transport box is the better choice.

This is how you use the transport bag comfortably and safely.

1. First, place the bag open in a quiet environment so that your animal can get used to it.
2. Lay the inner cushion flat and check if the base feels stable.
3. If necessary, use a little familiar hay or a cloth with a familiar scent.
4. Gently place your animal in the bag and close all openings securely.
5. Place the bag down stably during the ride and keep it upright.
6. Do not leave your animal unattended in the bag.

For vet visits, it is handy to have the bag ready in advance with a little hay or a familiar surface. This way, you won't have to search as much at the last minute, and the transport moment will be calmer. For additional transport options, also check out our transport boxes category.

Transport bag or hard transport box?

A transport bag is convenient when you are looking for a comfortable, portable, and soft transport solution for short trips. The bag is especially handy for calm animals and for owners who prefer a lightweight bag to a hard box.

A hard transport box is more practical when your animal gnaws a lot, is very restless, tries to escape quickly, or when you are looking for a means of transport that is easier to clean thoroughly. For some animals, a hard box is therefore the most logical choice. Please also view the general category of transport boxes for rodents and rabbits .
