Hey all.

I'm going away next weekend (2 hr drive or so) and I have to bring my 2 young red eyes with me. I don't trust a pet-sitter and my husband doesn't wanna do it. Sooo....here's my plan. Please offer your opinions:

Buying a tall plastic tub, going to cut a big square hole in one side and hot glue a screen onto it. Bringing their favorite plants and hoping they stay asleep on them during the drive. The tub has a "flip" top on it, it's basically a tub for storing dog food, maybe 4 or 5 gallons? It has to be small enough to sneak into the housing lodge AND tall enough to fit their favorite plant.

Of course I will bring a few crickets, spray bottle, de-chlor water, soaking dish, etc....My main issue is how do I keep the plants from shifting around in the enclosure during the drive? I could put the frogs in a small enclosure for the drive, then put them in my makeshift vacation plastic tub when I get there. I'd rather not move them from enclosure to enclosure BUT also want them safe. I'm worried the plants they sleep on might tip over in the enclosure or something.

I dunno. I'm confused on how to do this safely, the logistics of it are giving me a headache. Is it too stressful for them to be put in a small container for the drive, then the temporary one at the lodge, then back again for the drive home? I'm sure they won't appreciate all the handling/moving. Trying to figure this out so it's least stressful for all 3 of us!!!


Any suggestions would be appreciated.
