Hi all, I am starting to freak out now. When I decided to adopt my second boar I knew my camping weekends would become a little more complicated but do-able.
We have an RV that is about a 90 minute drive from home and we go there every weekend from end of May to first weekend of September. It has heat and A/C and it has enough room to put a large cage in. I'll probably bring the same stuff (hideys, ziptied C&C grids, waterproof liners) that I use during floor time with us. So that part is pretty much figured out.
Now what is making me freak out is all this talk about fighting males, un-bonding males and so on....
How will I travel with them, what is the best way to bring them there?
They get along pretty good. The older one is more dominant and is about 11 months old. He will rumblestrutt, lie in front of the ramp or hay rack and do a bit of chasing. The baby is about 5 months old and takes nothing seriously so he is definitely not threatened by my big boy. He will jump over him when the ramp is blocked, steal from the boss' mouth, lie next to him, hide behind when afraid and popcorn when being chased and looks for more chasing....
I was thinking separate cat carriers, which I already have and then once I get there make up their cage and plop them in...
Will the separate carriers and the new cage/environment cause problems?
Is there anything I can do, from your experiences that can help?
I don't want to leave them at home with a sitter, I want them with me. I used to bring my hedgehog and we bring our gecko when we're there for longer periods with no problem.
Thanks for any help or advice you can provide
