I used a 4'x4'x8' box with a bottom to move five fawns , 3 air holes on the front ( 3") and the back, make sure you use a couple of wood screws to secure the drop gate, try using hay for bedding so if they want to nibble on something..there it is

In that case, I would pad all the walls with foam and have an oxygen tube connected to them along with feed and water
Just kidding. We've all got a lot of money invested in our deer and know exactly how you feel. I've moved fawns in boxes over 5 hours before and they had nothing but wood floor. I think if you do anything, then just put a little hay down like Curtis said. Otherwise, don't worry about them, they'll be fine. Best of luck to you as you set out into the deer business. This website has a wealth of knowledge and lots of really good people. So don't ever hesitate to ask a question. This business doens't come with a how to guide, so we have to lean on each other.
