My family and i just moved cross country, we had two cats, a bunny, and my BP to move with us. Since we were going to take a few days to travel we shipped the larger tank with the furniture, and pulled out the small tank, set it up in the back seat of the car with an ac adapter for the car. the tank was wrapped in blankets to keep the heat in. At night, he was brought into the hotel room and set up in less than a minute. And when we finally got to our new home, he was the first things set up. even before my bed. Since almost nothing about his enviroment changed for him, he slammed a rat the very next day.
