Planning for your Small Pets in Disaster (hamsters, gerbils, mice, ferrets, etc.)

 
EVACUATING SMALL PETS
 
Transportation of most small mammals (ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, guinea pigs, etc.) is best accomplished using a secure, covered carrier or cage to reduce stress. In addition to the pertinent items listed under dog/cat evacuation kit, include necessary dietary supplements, extra bedding materials, and appropriate exercise equipment.
