Essentials You Need For
A Rabbit Show-
look for these few items ahead of time!
-A 'carrier' for
each rabbit you are going to show. Carriers are small wire cages that open on the top, and have
an attached pan to catch droppings. Each rabbit is transported to
the show in one, and usually remains in the carrier throughout the day. 
They range in price from $10 on up to $40 and are available from many
rabbit supply vendors. We like to buy fairly large carriers for our
rabbits so they are a bit more comfortable throughout show day, but
some breeders like using the smaller ones to keep the rabbit from being
tossed around while driving.
If you think you might be
buying a rabbit at the show, bring an extra carrier or two along!
-Food and water cups
for each carrier. Rabbit vendors sell small, plastic food and water
cups you can attach to the inside of each carrier while at the show.
Make sure your rabbit's head can fit into the size of cups you buy!
These are fairly inexpensive, usually under $1 each.
-wheel cart to transport your
carrier from your vehicle to the showroom. Of course, it is not
necessary to have one of these, but carts sure make an easier job out of
hauling everything in to a rabbit show! Many styles are available -
we own both the large 'wagon' type cart with big air-filled tires, and the
low-to-the ground cart, commonly available at Farm supply stores.

Some people also like to keep
an overnight bag of personal items in their vehicle, just in case
you are stranded or end up spending the night in a motel.
