Hello!
I've recently decided to adopt a new hamster!
I plan on visiting the PetSmart closest to me, which has a Winter White up for adoption, yet it is still far enough that I have to take one or two taxis. I know PetSmart provides you with a small cardboard carrier, but I have a bigger one as well. Now I'm faced with two problems. Will it be too stressful to transport a hamster that far, as the route is quite noisy? And if I end up taking that route, should I use the slighty smaller PetSmart carrier? It might be a better idea, as it's darker and a bit more calming, possibly. I also have a 612 sq. in. cage set up, so will that reduce some stress upon arrival?
