  Hello!
  
  I recently bought a pet carrier so I no longer have to carry them to the garden or their playroom.
  
  Muffin happily goes inside the carrier (after a few sniffs and nudges) , but Munchie will take several minutes. I have tried putting treats inside, made a trail of pellets and leading her to the carrier. The only way she will come in is if I pick her up and put her in, which is difficult for me and her, as she will run from being picked up. I try get them to go in together, but unfortunately Munchie will still run.
  
  Are there any ways I have not tried that may work?
  
  Thanku Xx

  Luna is not too keen on going into her carrier either. The technique I use with her is that when she is in her cage, I will open the side door and put the carrier door right up against it and scoot her through the door, then I’ll quickly shut the carrier door once she’s inside.

  I would leave the carrier in their room, make it part of their environment. You could even start putting their food in there every day. Going in and out will become no big deal for them before long.
