Simon and River are pretty good with traveling. I try to make sure to feed them earlier than usual the day of and will give them a variety of greens then because I've noticed that they typically won't eat or drink while on the road and I don't want them to get dehydrated. When we make a rest stop, I'll offer them a treat to entice them to eat a bit and that will usually get them to realize they're hungry and they'll munch on some hay. For the most part, they'll nap, play with their toys, or attempt to dig all of the bedding into the front of the travel cage (because making a mess is fun).
I usually give more greens, hay with some alfalfa, and a fresh bowl of pellets when we get to our destination. Basically, I'm trying to get them to eat as quickly as I can to avoid any stomach issues before they start. I also bring a bunny medicine kit with us when we travel just in case we need it.

Hi Mónica!
