How to transport a rabbit across the USA?

You really just need to keep them comfortable. The stress of the trip is probably more if a risk than the heat. A stressed rabbit isn't going to eat as much or drink a lot, so you need to monitor that. A rabbit can be fine in temperatures of about 70F, so that isn't going to be too much of a worry.

Any hotel you stay in should be pet friendly and have temperature control. Bring an x-pen or easy to put together cage for the nights. Also bring some cleaning supplies, something to cover the floor, a litter box and other needed supplies. Have some food that your rabbit likes including veggies, pellets, hay and treats. Something to syringe feed if needed is also a good idea, ground up pellets will work. A small portable fan is also good if you need to turn off the car or something, battery powered would be best.

In the car, get a small hard sided cat carrier. It should be big enough for the rabbit, but not too big. If it is too big, the rabbit can slide around and will not feel safe. Have food (hay and pellets) in the carrier but stop to offer water every few hours. When you stop, stop for at least 15 minutes to give him a break from the movement of the car. If where you are is safe, use the x-pen to give him some excercise, a harness and leash can also be used, but you need to train him to be comfortable with it.

Where did you hear that they need 50-60F? Not so. If you are comfortable, they are too so your air conditioned SUV will be just fine if you have a decent travel cage. There are a few things to watch out for. Sun is the biggest one. You may need to shade the side windows so you keep the direct sun off the bunny. That can cause them to over heat. the same thing goes for stops along the way. You either need to take the bunny in with you or have one of you stay with it with the AC on while the other one takes a pit stop or goes in for carry-out food etc.

If you can, train the bunny to use a Lixit bottle. They have a valve that doesn't leak while you are in motion so the bottle can stay up while you are driving. Regular sipper tube bottles with the ball in the tube leak like a sieve in a moving car! Not all rabbits wil learn ti use the lixit tube but most will and it is worth a try.

We've done a lot of long car trips with rabbits and guinea pigs. With a little care and planning it can be safe

It does not have to be as low as 60 degrees, but 75 is a good temperature. If the car has air conditioning and the rabbit also has iced bottles, he should be fine. Also make sure the cage is well-ventilated. I live in arizona and travel to rabbit shows and they are fine in the car. If hedoes get overheated though, put ice cubes in the ears (without dripping INTO them) or mist them with cold water.

Congrats on getting a mini lop! I breed mini lops but last week i lost my breeding buck to the heat at home. His bottle melted before i got home and it was about 95.

Bunnies are pretty resilient. Just keep the windows down or the air on and it will be fine, Try and litter box train it before you leave so it can go to the bathroom in its litter box on the way down and just give is lettuce and water and it will be just fine.

bunnies need LOTS of water so make sure you guve it lots of water on the trip there. dont leave it in the car withour air on if your in a hot area, good luck! :)
