C&C Need traveling tips for my piggies!

You could try a dog crate with towels or fleece and add food, water, and their favorite cozie. That's what we do to go to the vet, but I'm not sure they would be happy in the crate for 10 hours. Especially since they are used to a large area to run around. The best of luck to you.

That really is a very long drive. When we moved from Minnesota to Southern California, we drove for four days (we stopped at night, of course), and the pigs did alright. I'm sure they weren't very comfortable, though.

10 hours, non-stop, though, is quite a lot. I really don't recommend that. Is there anyone who can take care of them whie you're away?

Consider whether your pigs are old or young and whether you think they can handle the stress. It will undoubtedly be pretty uncomfortable for them, but if you really must take them, I recommend you get a dog carrier like THIS one. You'll need to bring plenty of hay and pellets and veggies and water. Have a few towels down in the carrier along with a good pile of hay, a small water bottle, and a small bowl with pellets. You can pre-wash and portion your veggies so that you can put them in a container all ready to go and just give it to the pigs.

Try to find ways to incorporate stops and rest periods so they don't get too over-extended. You'll have to bring enough supplies for the way back, too.

Good luck!

I have never traveled more than a couple of hours with my piggies but honestly, they didn't seem stressed at all. My rabbits, on the other hand, would probably freak out.
Driving/taking a train is much better than flying, in my opinion, I think they'd get fairly stressed if they flew. I like the idea of a dog crate, but make sure it is covered. Your pigs will probably want to hide. Just make sure they have plenty of food and water. They may not drink water from a water bottle so it's a good idea to bring veggies to keep them well-hydrated.

We have done 4 hours with Buddy and Billy. They like towels to hide under. From time to time one rides up front in the shotgun lap.
