I travel on most weekends, and I'm wanting to take my furkids with me. My mother has her two that stay at home, but I'd like for my furbabies to come, too!

I've been scouring websites, but I haven't found any viable - and most importantly- Collapsible - Vacation homes that are cost effective.

Can anyone help? :(

here is one option course you would stand it upright
www.walmart.com/ip/SportPet-Pop-Open-Kennel-Large-Cats-Dogs-Small-Animals/5192528
I use key chain rings or large saftey pins to put up pouches, hammocks and vines, toys and suff. I dont see the medium size listed there but thats the one I prefer, the large one is great just deep, lol I set the wheel on the bottom.

I traveled w/ my fuzzies this past month..I bought a cockatiel ranch style bird cage, at Petco 20" X 16" X 29" tall..It fit nicely in our motorhome..and the tray slid out, on the bottom, to make cleaning easy...I put the Wodent wheel on the bottom of the cage, then attached the top..worked great.
They had enough room to romp, and lots of exposed wire top, for tummy tickles..They even seemed to enjoy the perches that came w/ it.

I travel about every other weekend and use this cage. I searched for awhile to find a good one that collapsed with a drop pan but no such luck. This one doesnt collapse but you dont need tools to take it apart and put together. I just keep it together though because it fits just fine in my back seat and it gets them through the weekend at my destination.

Mine dosn't collapse, but does come apart for storage..I used twist-tie re-enforcements on the corners of the roof, just because I have OCD.
I haven't taken mine apart, because it is cute, and sits right on top of our guinea pig cage.

There is one on the sugar glider store website I would recommend staying away from. It's a playpen thats recommended for gliders but ii highly recommend not waisting your money.
the top zippers up but the bottom is held by 5 pieces of Velcro and is absolutely terrible. Mine has figured out how to get out of it and thats frowned upon. So stay away from buying that one.

This is what I use it is a fully enclosed mesh Dog kennel. Pops up in 2 seconds with no poles. I use it for tent time as well. Folds up to 4" flat and comes with a bag to carry it in. Love it and wouldn't use anything else. Easy to care for and clean since everything just wiped or hoses off.

I got the largest size so I could use it for tent time and they would have lots of room for play. Found on e-bay, think it was around $65. free shipping.

I have this as a travel, temp cage.


http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4470992

It's not tall enough for a glider, but it's ok for travel or a couple days. I also used this as Nyx's quarantine cage.
