Anyone fly with a guinea pig?

Hi all, I'm new here. My son and I bought a guinea pig a few months ago. He's a boar and about three months old ("Hammy"). I had one as a teenager and boy oh boy, I forgot just how much I love them!

Anyway, we'll be moving from Boston to Orlando in March and I'm wondering if anyone here has ever flown with a gp before. I've only found one airline that allows them as carry on-Delta with a $75 dollar charge (ouch!). How do gp's handle airplane travel? Do their ears hurt as much as mine with elevation changes? The trip is only about 3 hours, so I'm hoping that a late breakfast and some watery-type greens should hold him over.

Any advice would be much appeciated. Thanks.

You may want to contact Teresa at [email protected]. A couple of months ago she sent about 20 guinea pigs to Texas from her home in California.

There are certain restrictions as to when animals are allowed to fly depending on the weather.

Contact Teresa, she'll be able to point you in the right direction.

Thank you both. No, Hammy will not be in the cargo area, he'll be in the cabin with us.
