I have my pets appear different times in my show. When every show was done I had to clean off the top of the stand my pets were sitting on top off. Sometimes I had to pick poop off the floor because it was pushed off the stand. I was tired of doing this. So I went to a machine shop and had them make me a tray with a grill on top. Now all my pets urine and poop is dropped inside of a tray. Nothing gets on the floor. It is east to disperse at the end of my show. And my pets are not wet from stepping in their urine. You can see a little poop in the lower right hand corner:
I got the idea from the Showtime's Incognito Pet Carrier. |

I usually don't feed my rabbit 1 hour before showtime. That has been helpful for no accidents. He then gets treats as well as food and water after his meet & greet with his fans. Mark

I was the same way at first, not feeding my pets before they would leave the house with me. But I was feeling sorry for them at times when I had multiple shows to do, morning to evening. Now I place about an ounce of timothy hay in their carriers before traveling. I might try giving my pets treats after my shows. Water as you mentioned is a good idea. Do you carry a pet water bottle with you, or do you give them water from a dish?

Mike, you spent a lot of money on those trays. I must say the opening look a little small.
What I did with my birds, is go to a farm supply store and purchased a large cage, with proper opening in the bottom, and a slide out tray. Assemble required, but the only tool needed is a pair of pliers. We have a store called, Tractor Supply, I am sure you have one in your area. The best way to for your animals to reduce accidents is to exercise them them before a show. Birds you walk between your fingers and hands, Take your rabbits out for a walk, with leasch. Just find a way to exercise them. It is a big responsibility to care for animals, you may need help. Maybe some neighborhood kids can help. Who knows you could inspire some to become veterinarians. |
