        Move is set for Wednesday and Thursday, woohoo! I want get the bunnys’ emergency box set up today to have it ready to be moved over and unpacked first, along with the bunnies themselves. What should I put in the emergency box? 

        Right now, I have set aside a bag of pellets, neosporin, gauze, treats, cranberry juice (one bun prone to UTIs in stressful situations), and all of their toys. Theres two pet stores within a five minute drive, so Im not worried about hay (as posted in another thread, one pet store has an aisle full of all types of hay!). The pet stores also have Critical Care, so Im not worried about that either. Im also changing their litter for the last time today until after the move, since Ive read keeping a dirty litter box can help them feel more at home because of their smells.

        What else should I put into their box? What else should I prepare for the bunnies to make the move easier on them? How can I help them relax for the first few days/weeks after the move to help them settle in?

        **An emergency box is the first box that gets moved over and unpacked. For humans, it usually has things like a towel or two, some clothes, tooth brush and tooth paste, phone charger, ect.

            I would suggest a blanket that smells like the old house too

              It does have to do with care. There are pet remedy sprays that can have a calming effect on pets, according to some vets. I don’t know how much real science there is behind it. It’d also add simethicone drops to the emergency box and feeding syringes.

                  Definitely an old towel or blankie that smells familiar. Food, food and water bowls (It’s surprising how often those get forgotten.), favorite toys, and some of your favorite booze.

                  Not for the rabbits, but for you, because moving sucks wholesale.

                    Towel is a great idea! They have one that we used on a grid made hidey house, and theres a smaller one we had in their crates. Ill make sure to add one to their box. Should I put the towels on/in their cage, or place it right outside of their cage? Thanks, Sirius&Luna

                    Added simethicone and a few syringes. Thank you for the reminder, Bam!

                    LOL, I cant drink alcohol due to health issues, but I did take up Vienna’s idea for tea instead to help with moving stresses Im sure my partner will like that idea, though, Bladesmith.

                      Bottled water in case you have plumbing issues!

                        Bottled water is a great idea too, thanks! We are doing the final walkthrough the day of before closing, so I will check it then. If something seems off with it, we will grab bottled water before taking the buns over.
