Post by: faith0504 on September 07, 2010, 10:42:23 am

please can anyone help me make my girls move to the new house as stressless as possible, when would be the best time to move them, last thing at night, first thing in the morning, and is there anything i can do to keep them chilled and happy, so there move is not traumatic
any help would be gratefully received

Wait till they have gone to bed.  Have their new place ready for them.  Lift them and move them into their new house.  Shut the door, keep them inside for a day or two, feeding them inside.

that is the best bet as doganjo said no problem picking them up at dark
