Location Transport

What is the best way to transport a hamster?

I live in Indiana, and I'll be moving to Massachusetts. What would be the safest way to transport my hamster? I don't want it to die... I won't be taking a plane, I'll be driving.

1. This happened to me.... i couldnt transport it. my mom tried her hardest and the airplane wont carry it. and the carrying conditons are terriable. its freezing cold and air limited. I had to give my hamster to my best friend. Dont transport it give it to a trustworthy friend.
2. If you are driving the best way to transport it is a travel cage. It is small and the best way to carry a hamster around. If you are going to fly, you are SOL ( so outta luck ) no pets are aloud on a plain. No matter how hard you try. Good luck with transporting you and your pet. Be safe!
3. just take the cage in the car.remove any thing that may fall or roll on the hamster.to make the trip a little more comfy put some extra bedding in the cage.
4. well you should just hold him but bring your cage with him in case he wants to run a round never let him off your site or than he will run away from you and bring hi things to play with so he wont get bored. email: rumeshdis@yahoo.com
5. Get a small cage special for transporting. Make it homy for him, and set it up just like you would his normal cage. Use plenty of shavings, give him food, treats, and water. Make sure he doesn't get cold. He should be fine, don't leave him alone in the car for long periods of time. If you have to use a hotel, sneak him in. :) Good luck.
