Transport box for rabbits: safe transport to the vet, shelter or holiday

Transport box for rabbits: safe, quiet and comfortable on the road

Whether you're going to the vet, going on vacation, or taking your rabbit to a shelter, a good rabbit carrier makes travel safer and much more relaxing. Rabbits often find moving a little nerve-wracking. With the right carrier, the right size, and some smart preparation, you can reduce stress and give your rabbit a sense of security.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a transport box?

Not every carrier is automatically rabbit-proof. Here are the key points that you can (almost) always get right:

• Proper size – enough room for your rabbit to sit and turn normally, but not so big that he or she will slide around when he or she moves.
• Good ventilation – fresh air is essential, especially on longer rides.
• Quiet box – a non-transparent bottom tray (or less open sides) helps many rabbits to stay calmer.
• Secure closure – securely closed, yet practical to use.
• Easy to clean – hygienic and convenient after every ride.

Tip: give your rabbit a grip in the box

Grip inspires confidence. So place a towel or non-slip mat on the floor. This prevents slipping when braking or turning and makes many rabbits feel instantly safer.

Which transport box is right for your rabbit?

In this category, you'll find various models and sizes, from compact crates to more spacious options for larger breeds and (where appropriate) duo transport. Larger models may be suitable for Flemish Giants , French Lop-eared Cattle , or German Giants , for example. If you're traveling with a close-knit group, transporting them together can actually reduce stress in some situations.

Examples from the range include the Trixie Transport Box Capri , Trixie Transport Box Mini-Capri , Trixie Transport Bag and practical accessories such as an Anti-Slip Mat and pee mats .
