Thank you. They are going from London, Uk down to Devon, UK. They will be coming in the car with us along with Dogs and Gerbils.

I've moved from South Louisiana to North Mississippi to attend grad school, and the trip back and forth usually takes betweeen 4 1/2-6 hours depending on traffic and how often we stop. My pigs and dogs have had no problems on the trip. The dogs sleep the entire time, and we can actually make the entire trip without bathroom breaks for them if we have to. We bring the pigs in one of those bags you could bring a small dog around in, and the pigs don't seem to mind at all, especially since they can cuddle with one another. I only have two pigs, so a bag that size works well. However, if you have more than two, maybe you could get a small pet carrier, one that could fit a cat. I've also transported them in one a couple of times, and they didn't mind that either.
