Why choose a good transport box?

A transport crate is one of those products you’d rather have at home before you need it. For a vet visit, a move, a check-up, or short transport, you want to be able to take your pet along quickly and calmly. A sturdy transport crate offers better visibility than an open basket, cardboard box, or temporary solution.

The Trixie Capri XXS Transport Box is designed for temporary transport. The closed sides provide shelter, while the ventilation openings ensure that air can reach your pet. The barred door at the front makes it easier to gently let your pet in and out of the box.

Traveling is stressful for many animals. Therefore, make the carrier as familiar as possible. Place a familiar cloth, some familiar bedding, or some hay inside, depending on the species. This way, the carrier smells less strange and your animal has more stability during the journey.

For which animals is the Trixie Capri XXS Transport Box suitable?

• Rat: suitable for short transport, for example to the vet. Place a cloth, vet bed, or some familiar bedding in the box for more grip and comfort.
• Guinea pig: suitable for temporary transport. Preferably use an absorbent bottom layer with a soft, stable top layer on top so that your guinea pig does not slide.
• Dwarf rabbit: suitable for short-term transport of small rabbits up to 4 kg. Always check that your rabbit has enough room to sit comfortably.
• Chinchilla: suitable for short transport, provided the carrier is used dry, well-ventilated, and quietly. Do not place wet or dusty material in the carrier.
• Degu: suitable for short transport. Degus can gnaw, so check the carrier and do not leave your animal in it longer than necessary.
• Ferret: suitable for short-term transport of ferrets up to 4 kg. Use a sturdy underlay and check carefully that the door is properly closed.

For mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, and gerbils, this transport box is often larger than necessary. For these smaller rodents, you usually prefer a more compact transport box so that the animal slides around less during transport. For each animal, always use a size that suits its body size, behavior, and the duration of the transport.

Use during vet visits or short transport

Use the transport box for short-term stays under supervision. Prepare the box in advance and place a suitable underlay inside. For guinea pigs and rabbits, this could be an absorbent mat with a soft top layer, for example. For rats, chinchillas, and degus, you could consider a cloth, vet bed, or suitable bedding, as long as it remains clean and safe during the journey.

Close the cage door carefully and always check that it is securely fastened before lifting the playpen. Carry the playpen gently by the handle and avoid jerking, tilting, or swinging. Place the playpen stably in the car, for example on the floor or securely fastened, so that it cannot slide.

Do not leave the transport box in direct sunlight and never leave animals alone in a hot car. During hot or cold days, it is important to monitor the temperature closely, as transport can quickly become stressful.

Tips to make the journey more relaxed

Many animals find traveling stressful. You can help by placing the carrier near the enclosure beforehand so your animal can get used to it. Put something familiar inside with its own scent, such as a cloth or a bit of clean bedding from the enclosure.

For animals that eat hay, such as guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, you can bring along a small amount of hay. This provides scent, grip, and something to nibble on. Do not use an open water bowl during transport, as it can easily tip over. On longer journeys, it is better to pause and offer water calmly when needed.
