Hi everyone! I know I just posted yesterday with a question about vacuums (thanks for all of the suggestions!), but I remembered that I had another question I'd been meaning to ask.

My boyfriend and I will be driving up to New Hampshire (from Connecticut, about a three-hour drive) for Thanksgiving. We'll be bringing Smokey (and my two guinea pigs) with us, since otherwise our only option would be to leave them in the apartment with lots of food for a few days--you understand why I don't want to do that, right?

We brought Smokey and the guinea pigs up to NH for Thanksgiving last year, and Smokey had a miserable time. She was very moody and she did not eat as much as usual while we were at my parents' house, and she mostly just hid in the corner of my old bedroom the whole time and grunted at anyone who approached her. (Then my mom fed her too many dried cranberries, so she ended up with a tummy ache. Poor bunny!)

My question is: How can I prevent Smokey from getting so stressed out this time? I'm planning to buy a larger carrier for her to sit in during the car ride (as well as providing lots of water and hay in the carrier), but aside from that I really don't know what to do. I don't really know if there is anything I can do to make the trip more comfortable for her, but I really would appreciate any advice my fellow bunny parents might have to offer.
