I'm moving to Florida by the end of August and we will be driving down. Will me guinea pigs be ok during the long 16 to 20 hour drive?

That's great! Well, as long as you stuff there carrier with food and veggies, try to make it a little bit less stressful by covering the carrier, maybe talking to them throughout the ride. I hope all goes well, hope you like it here!

Like what Kota12 said and every so often stop and make sure they're ok, and give them veggies, and try and distress them by fussing them(unless your piggies aren't exactly tame yet, then I think trying to pick them up to stroke them would just cause more stress).

Thanks for the help. I was there for Easter and my kids and I didn't want to leave Florida Lol

I've had 2 of them since May 9th and got my other one 20 days later.

I've had Princess and Prince since May 9th and got Brownie on May 29th. So I believe they are almost fully tamed. Princess had a previous owner before so she was easy to pick up from the beginning. She never ran away
