Curtis and I will be going to Eugene for an extended weekend and have decided to bring Wolfgang with us. This will be Wolfgang's first vacation and I'd love to hear any pointers you all might have.
He has been in the car before; we got him from Deneen who lives in Eugene, and he did a great job on the drive to Portland when we brought him home. He was extremely excited and wouldn't settle down till I put a blanket over his carrier.
His normal pen is way too big to pack along so I bought a Rubbermaid-type bin to use as his "motel room." It's the 25-gallon size, so it's pretty big (not sure of the exact dimensions). I'll be taking liners and blankies (of course), his two hedgie bags (which he now ADORES Nancy, by the way), his wheel, his regular food & water bowls, a tp tube and a cat ball to play with, his regular food (duh), some Rescue Remedy, and his mealworms. And the digital thermometer so I'll know if the van and the room we'll be staying in are warm enough for him.
If it looks like there will be enough room without getting too crowded in there I'll add in his PVC pipe. I don't think he'll be too concerned if it's not there; half the time he'll sleep in it, the other half he'll burrow in or under his hedgie bag or his liner.
So, am I forgetting anything? :dunno:
If any of you experienced travelers have tips, I'd love the insight.
