Question:
I'm going to be preparing for a move back to Texas (though it's not definite) and I have to make the proper arrangements for Pocky and Pocari. I will definitely take them with me if it's at all possible, so that's why i'm posting this. Would a move like this be horribly stressful for them? I hear of chins getting shipped all over the place, but I don't know how stressful it actually is for chins. I would definitely not be able to take their cages with me, so i'd have to buy a new one for them as soon as I arrived.
I'm concerned because of the major climate change that they'll have to endure (don't worry, they would of course live in the air condition, i'm not crazy enough to let them attempt to endure the weather there) and the plane trip. I know that going through the change myself I get a little bit under the weather, so I worry that they would have to handle the same. Any info?


Answer:
If you can carry them on with you, by all means, do it. They will be much less stressed in the comfort of the cabin (less noise and temperature controlled) and you can also keep an eye on them. If they have to go by cargo, you will have to carefully plan the move so that they will not be flying when it is too warm. It is hard to say how the chins will react. My chins have travelled frequently and have been moved into new houses 5 times (when I was in University) and hardly notice. However, they never had to be flown to a location that had a drastically different climate. My advice would be to start checking into airlines and regulations now.


Answer:
Thanks a bunch Good thing my sister works for the airlines, she can help me out with the regulations and tell me which airline is the best! Hopefully there won't be too much of an issue as far as stress goes, Pocky seems to be made of steel. The only things that stress him out are when he doesn't get his daily snack :P There's currently the question of whether my boyfriend will want to keep the girl with him or if i'll be taking her as well, but i'm assuming he doesn't want to take care of a chinchilla. If he does though it'll probably be a big help because she's a spaz and any little change bums her out.


Answer:
I don't want you to go to Texas!!!!!!!!


Answer:
I don't want her to leave Canada but if she does, she needs to stop by Memphis on the way to Houston-or I'll go get you and take you there
