A year ago Dec. we moved from MI to FL. The ferrets and cats were all in carriers in the car, but there was no room for the cage, not even in the truck (we rented a 26 ft). We also had a car carrier with my daughters car on it hooked to the truck, it was crammed to capacity. So we made the 1,400 mile trip with the cage still put together, bungee corded to the ramps to the car carrier. Still had their sleep baskets in, their hammocks, food and water dishes, and, oops, I forgot to dump the litterboxes, so from MI to KY we had litter flinging back at the windshield of the car as I was following the truck. All in all, it made it pretty well, thru rain and snow, couple of the bars got bent a bit. After thoroughly cleaning the cage, the ferrets got put in it, almost good as new. So I see no problem putting the cage, fully assembled, into the truck. Good luck! -- Vicki L.
