        I have a standard, rigid plastic carrier for my rabbit. It keeps him secure for trips to the vet etc, but it’s just really difficult to carry – with one hard plastic handle in the middle it’s very unwieldy, and my rabbit is a french lop so he’s heavy (and still getting heavier ). I can’t drive, so I’d really like a carrier that’s easier to move longer distances on my own, so that I can get to public transport etc. I like the idea of one that can be wheeled like a suitcase, and/or that can be carried as a backpack (looking at something like this). But I know that fabric carriers are often recommended against for rabbits because they can chew through.

        Has anyone used a fabric backpack/wheeled type carrier like this with success? Or found a rigid plastic carrier that can be wheeled or carried in that way? Or any other suggestions about how to transport a rabbit securely in a way that’s easier when the carrier isn’t instantly being put straight in a car?

          A wheeled carrier seems like it would make for a bumpy ride, based solely on my experience with suitcases…

          Your rabbit is larger than mine, but I have a purse-style carrier that works great. They’re mostly sold in the dog section of pet stores. Some of them have a hole for the dog to stick their head out, which obviously wouldn’t work for a rabbit, but mine zips completely at the top. It’s “chew-resistant” and not easily escapable, although I’m sure a rabbit left unattended in it for hours would find a way.
