Things You'll Need
- Margarine tub
- Scissors
- Duct tape
Instructions
Select a container that your hamster cannot chew through. Cardboard is not a good choice. You can purchase plastic containers at the pet store for longer trips. You can make your own by poking air holes in a large margarine tub for short trips.
Place unsoiled bedding from the hamsters cage in the container. The hamster will find the familiar smell comforting. You can also include a toy, but don't use one that might injure the hamster while it is being moved.
Pick up the hamster and place it in the cage. Close the lid firmly, so the hamster can't force it open. If you are using a margarine tub, tape the top closed, but be careful not to cover the air holes.
Bring along food and water if the trip will be longer than a few hours. Also bring along any medications your hamster may require.
