DianneS - how many angoras in your "herd" of 8 month old angoras?
Are you also moving any personal vehicles? Your original post indicates you'll be driving a moving van, where the cab will have your dog & cat.
Are you towing your personal vehicle? Is there someone else that could drive it instead and you could haul your buns there? I've stacked up carriers in the back seat of a taurus on several occasions.
I've hauled buns to shows for many years, crossing state lines. Yes...depending on the local laws...you *may* run into an issue by not having the health certificates, but there is very little probability it would happen. There are major ARBA shows held throughout the us and I highly doubt anyone has had every animal vet checked before crossing state lines and I've not heard of a single incident where someone was stopped. Cops have bigger fish to fry than bother with calling out the state ag dept on a traffic stop.
Rabbit carriers are not exactly cheap - nor are fans, renting a cargo van, hiring an professional etc. I can't help but wonder if the cost to replace would be less. It depends on the personal attachment or actual value of the buns you currently own.
Klubertanz is a supplier that sells carriers - they are online.
I do know that people transport their buns in pickup beds with toppers or utility trailers (with lots of vents). August is a tough month to be transporting.
I do know there are a few yahoo groups dedicated to rabbit runs - a network of rabbit folks that help people transport rabbits typically for sales or shows.
Go to ARBA online and see who the district leader is for your area and email them with your questions.
Good luck to you...I hope you find a good solution.
