Will a hamster die if it travels a lot
Basic Tips
Make an appointment with your vet for a check-up. Your pet should be in good physical condition before embarking on a trip.
Make sure there is lots of ventilation
Use a limited amount of bedding, most of wich has the hamsters smell on it already (for less stress)
Mix some seeds and treats in with the bedding to occupy your hamster
For long travels, bring a water-bottle and offer it to your hamster from time to time
Don't play with the hamster at inconvenient times
Use carriers that are very excape-proof
Don't allow temperature extremes
Try not to bump your hamster around a lot
Don't let strangers or/and other people play with your hamster while traveling (too stressfull)
Try to maintain constant temperature
Try to keep your hamster away from drafts, heaters, etc.
Keep your hamster out of direct sunlight
Always keep an eye on the carrier
Whether you're staying at hotels or campgrounds, check first to see if pets are welcome.
Travel either early or late in the day to reduce the risk of overheating.
Never, ever, leave your pet in a parked car; it takes just minutes for heatstroke or freeze to set in.
Airline Traveling Tips
Use a carrier that is airline-friendly (like Sherpa bags, in the pic below)
Keep the hamster with you on the trip
Keep your eye on your hamster
To make the skies a little friendlier, research your airline's rules and regulations for pet travel.
