help! i'm looking for ideas about moving my ferals across the u.s. well, actually, the moving isn't the problem ... the problem is how to get the little guys into dog crates or other kinds of big carriers.
when we moved into this house, we discovered we had a feral colony in the back yard. after trapping and neutering/spaying everyone, we released them into our home. two of them have become domesticated enough that i'll be able to pick them up and put them into carriers. but we have no idea how to get the others into dog crates or other carrier things suitable for travel. my dh is freaking out over this. i keep telling him we'll figure this out, but secretly, i don't have the answer.
we are moving in a month. we have one very large dog crate, and i have begun putting some of their food and water in there to get them used to the crate. however, i don't know how i'll get them into such carriers and keep them there while i close the door.
oh, please ... any ideas will be so very welcome! thanks so much.
