Is a busy out-of-state trip too stressful for my rabbit to handle?

My rabbit loves going out and meeting people and I got advice as to whether or not I should take him on an out of state trip and was told it would be no issue.. I just found out that we will be very busy the whole time and constantly doing different things.. would that possibly be to stressful for him?

Yes, I would be worried that a trip like this may cause your rabbit some stress. If you are able to leave Mozart at home, in his familiar surroundings, with someone to care for him, I think this would be best. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hello. I do not see why you can't travel with Mozart. If he enjoys riding in a car & does not stress out in new environments, then, by all means, take him with you. Rabbits can make great travel companions as they do not need the attention that a dog does nor do they spaz out like a cat can. I hope you enjoy your trip.
