Dawn > Has anyone from canada received a rattie from the usa? and did you have > issues having the ratbert shipped here? > > Dawn I've had rats shipped from Thunder Bay and it was not a good experience. The ratties were ok but they were shoved in the cargo area, jam packed in with the luggage, I don't know how those ratties had air. The airline employees were not very nice about them either. I've heard of many people having trouble with cross border rats. A lady went on Pet Star in the US with her rats to perform and they almost didn't let her rats go into the country.  SignatureJoanne Owned by 14 rats The only situation that I have been involved in was with regards to a couple who were relocating from Vancouver to Montreal, with a stopover in Toronto, and it was a horrific situation. Air Canada lost their rat, Mousie, nobody wanted to do anything, everyone either threw up their hands and dismissed it, or never even contacted anyone in response to the situation. Eventually I got the media involved, and Mousie's situation actually ended happily, but it was only because of CityTV and Peter Silverman, and the owner of Falcon Environmental Services. I wouldn't trust a soul to fly my rats, with or without me being aboard. well I was trying to get a rescue ratty from the usa and i was denied because the usa doesnt allow for rats to be shipped across the boarder. Its too bad cuz they were lil cuties Dawn Hmm, that's interesting. I know of people who have flown rats up from the states with no problem. Has it changed recently? You can always drive them across as well. > The only situation that I have been involved in was with regards to a > couple who were relocating from Vancouver to Montreal, with a stopover [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > and the owner of Falcon Environmental Services. > I wouldn't trust a soul to fly my rats, with or without me being aboard. Airlines do a poor enough job shipping dogs and cats (that generally everyone likes and thinks are cute) that I would never trust them with ANY animal, let alone rats. Jacqui It would be done by a private airline that I know and trust, but this rescue is saying the gov doesnt allow for it. Its next to impossible to find hairless rats in winnipeg. Severe allergies prevent me from owning a standard hairy. Dawn > It would be done by a private airline that I know and trust, but this > rescue is saying the gov doesnt allow for it.

A lot of double rexes are *nearly* hairless. My girls have nothing more than a little peach fuzz. In my area at least, it's easier to find double rexes than genuinely hairless rats. - NRen2k5 I had a female double rexie before but she died. I have no issues with them the are a lot harder to come by than a hairless. :) > I had a female double rexie before but she died.
