To get here, they have a 3 hour flight to Luxembourg, usually a couple of hours minimum faffing around at the airport with vet checks etc, then 3 hours in a truck, a 5 hour boat journey, then another truck journey - at the time I was in Dorset so it was about 3 hours. To come here from Dover would be 6 hours, roughly. I don't think it's the actual journey itself that made them tired beyond a couple of days. More like the stress from all the new things, leaving everything they know etc, perhaps causing depression which manifested itself as tiredness.
