When taking your rabbit outdoors, having a safe and portable carrier is essential. Whether you plan to let your rabbit enjoy some sunshine or take them to a veterinary appointment, it's recommended to prepare a suitable carrier that can comfortably hold your rabbit. A carrier sized for small dogs or cats usually works well, as carriers that are too small can make your rabbit uncomfortable.
Some carriers lack a proper footrest, which can cause discomfort for your rabbit's feet while inside. Additionally, without a footrest, urine and waste may come into contact with your rabbit's body, which is not hygienic. In such cases, it's advisable for owners to purchase a separate footboard to place inside the carrier. Lining the bottom of the carrier with a pee pad will also help maintain cleanliness.
Carriers come in different types: soft-shell, hard-shell, and fabric versions. Owners can consider which type suits their needs best when choosing one for their rabbit.
