Hi there - I didn't remember to write down the name of the person who wanted to know about travelling with our pals... However, I have taken my crew on several *lengthy* trips. The most complicated one was 7 ferrets over 2000 miles. At the time I had a truck. What I did was to set up their cages in the back of the truck the smae way they are at home. Rather than use water bottles, I used earthenware crocks, but filled them partway with ice cubes rather than water. When the ice totally liquified I would pour it out and put new cubes in. The scariest trip was 4 ferrets in the back of the truck and one dog in the front. It was September, and deadly hot and humid. I would pull into every rest area I passed, and either illegally take the ferrets into the restrooms and run under cold water, or else make them go swimming in the ponds [going through Nebraska]. I soaked towels in the ice water in the cooler and wrapped hard plastic ice packs for coolers in towels. I made a 4 day trip in 2 days plus a few hours, only stopping to sleep for a few hours twice. This was a different route than the above 2000 mile trip, but same endpoints, NY and the Front Range in Colorado. I swore I would never again take them with me in the summer! Since then I got a vehicle with AC, but I still worry about stopping for more than a few minutes at a time.
