                    • The bag or container provides sufficient airflow
                      to allow normal air exchange and
                      radiation/dispersal of heat;
                    • The container, receptacle or bag is protected
                      from direct sunlight, rain, wind or other

                      or harm to the animal;
                    • The animal is able to hide, or be protected from

                      age and species. Supplemental warmth must be
                      provided to any nestling or juvenile unable to
