Howdy all!

Pickin up a baby Bosc on the weekend from the UK the bosc will be in the car for a journey for about 3 hour and the 3 hours on the boat. What do you all think that i should put in the box for him to be as happy as possible during his travels????

peopel have different views on this, some believe a smaller box restricts movement and so theres a less chance of the animal damaging itself but then others prefer giving them more room!
I think give it a container about4-5 times its length and then put that in a poly box if possible. I would also keep it dark for less stress!
If you think 6 hours is long try taking them back from hamm to west wales!

I would pack him up into a soft cotton pillow case, with some scrunched up newspaper. I would then place that in a box that won't be affected by the temp extremes, making sure you don't place the box in the sun at all.
