Exotic pets require special considerations during an evacuation.
Birds — Birds should be transported in a secure, covered, travel cage, to help decrease their stress and anxiety. Once you arrive at your location, place their cage in the quietest, low-traffic area.
Snakes — You can transport your snake in a pillow case, but move them to an appropriate-sized aquarium when you reach your destination. You should also bring a heating pad and a large bowl for soaking.
Small rodents — Gerbils, hamsters, mice, and guinea pigs should be transported in a secure travel carrier. Bring enough food, water, and bedding for two weeks, and bring a salt lick and a small box for hiding.
