My rabbit and I went on a long trip (20 hours, total, one way) and I started her in the car by taking short trips, like when I had to run to my work (who are ok with me bringing her inside to visit for a little while) to drop off a time sheet or something, or to fill my car with gas if I was paying with my debit card… then we eased up to longer drives, like we’d just go for a drive around town for first an hour, then two, then three, till she started to get used to the car. When it came time for the trip, I put her old (read: small) cage in the trunk, facing into the back seat and basically gave her free reign of the whole back half of the car. I was able to put my suitcase on the driver’s side floor and everything else fit around the cage so it worked out well. With the backseat folded down, it worked out really well. She hung out in the trunk a lot of the time but would come visit me by the back of my seat for pets. Every 100 miles or so, I”d try to stop and give her some tasty greens and a rest. I would usually just read a chapter of my book so she could take a break. It was fun! Plus people always give you a really funny look when they walk by your car and realize there’s a bunny running around in the back seat. Ha.
