Don't clean the cage, gently lower it into a cardboard box that will shield
it from view; try not to jostle it at all...and feed them all really well
right
before transport.
When I got to the classroom, cut a hole in one side of the box, so that
you can see in, but shelters at least three sides and the top yet from
lots of view. Feed them all again, treats.
Explain carefully about the new additions and for everyone to *leave
them alone* by not tapping on glass or hanging by the open to view
side too much. Or making loud noises (dropping bio books on floor,
I know mine was about 2" thick and would make a resounding WHUMP
if dropped). After a few days, you can take the cage out of the box.
Make sure it's not installed in an extremely busy part of the classroom
and all should make it.
Any other opinions?
[preparing to ship two litters that dropped late last week, I'm going
to wait until furred out first...and I'm looking for all the kritter keepers
I can scrounge for packing up familes and pairs...]
