Will my hamsters survive with the cargo for a 45 minute flight on an airplane?
Q. My plane i'm going on won't allow me to bring my hamsters for carry on. Is it dangerous for them to be with the cargo? I HAVE to bring them because i'm moving. I cannot drive because I live in the Philippines & it's all ocean, no roads.

A. As long as the airline puts them in a heated and pressurized cargo hold (like any other pet), they'll be fine. Check with your airline. If you're flying Southwest, you won't be able to bring them on at all. They have a strict no-pet policy. I'm curious though. A 45 minute plane ride is only a couple hundred miles by car. You could drive.
