Traveling with hamsters any knowledge?

[nickilubs]

For my 21st I want to get 2 little roborovski hamsters. But thing is we live in the middle of nowhere so I was wondering what would be the longest safest time to drive with them? My OH would hold them in whatever container is safe or even the cage if we can set it up straight away but we want to check how long would be okay I don't want to distress them.

Thanks

If it's a very long journey then as long as they have air, a lil bit of food in their box, water and bedding they will be fine hun!!

ooooooh, dont get them, they are evil!

those little ones with stripes down their backs? i had them as a kid theyre nasty we had to wear gardening gloves to hold them else they bite ur finger and stay clamped on even when u lift ur hand up!
and they had babies and the dad raped his daughters and had more babies and killed some too
and when one died the other started eating it half its head was missing

euw theyre horrid. get syrian hamsters they are lovely!

sorry i didnt actually answer ur question! travelling with hamsters, if possible get the cage set up for them and go slowly over bumps they'll be fine. i kno what im talking about when it comes to hamsters iv kept loads (syrian and russian) they are usually distressed a little in boxes, no more in the car than still tbh, its the actual boxes they dont seem to like. so if possible set the cage up, or get a cheap mini-cage for them so they can see out and nest and stuff.

enjoy, if u do go for russians hope theyre nice not like all the ones we had! xx
