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

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 12 days old | 12 lbs

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.
