Junior 4-H Rabbit Knowledge Practice Exam

Using a well-ventilated carrier lined with bedding is the best way to transport a rabbit safely because it ensures the rabbit has a secure and comfortable environment during travel. A proper carrier provides sufficient airflow, which is crucial in keeping the rabbit calm and preventing overheating. The bedding inside helps absorb moisture and provides soft cushioning, which can reduce stress and make the rabbit feel more at ease.

Holding a rabbit in your lap may lead to unexpected movements, which can be dangerous for both the rabbit and the person transporting it, increasing the risk of accidental injury. A cardboard box, although it may seem convenient, typically does not offer the same level of ventilation and may not provide adequate support or comfort for the rabbit. Using a pet backpack can also be unsafe, as these are often designed for very different types of animals and may not offer the security and comfort that a rabbit needs during transport.
