Abstract
An animal transfer box for containing and transporting live animals, such as quail, includes two ventilated end panels opposite each other, two ventilated side panels opposite each other and connected to the end panels, a substantially non-ventilated bottom panel connected to the side panels, and a ventilated top panel connected to the side panels. Feet are secured to the bottom panel for supporting the bottom panel above a surface upon which the animal transfer box may be resting. The animal transfer box is formed from a single blank of cardboard having tabs and slots formed therein for securing the shape of the animal transfer box upon assembly. The end panels each comprise double-wall panels and one of the end panels has a full-length door while the other end panel has a partial-length door.
