Yes, we do ship but, For most people it is not financially practical to ship one or two animals as the cost is so high. Shipping Live Animals safely (especially after 9/11)  is expensive but for some people it is the only way you can get the animals you want.  

It is less expensive and less shocking to the animals to drive and pick up the animals even if the animal is 300 miles away. If that is not possible we can ship via pet-air freight.

The cost (depending on the time of year, fuel cost, and other items) range from around $60 to $177.

More than one animal can be shipped in the same container  the cost is for the entire carrier not per animal and you can  fit several small animals in one small carrier. Most carriers allow you up to 50 pounds before they start charging more (and when shipping small animals 50 pounds is a lot of animals).

We receive countless e-mails that say something like..."I want to buy a BLACK BEAR HAMSTER and have it shipped to Texas". Well the hamster may only cost $6 bucks but the shipping will cost $80.

Animals are shipped on airplanes in a temperature and presser controlled cabin. We take them to the air port in Wichita, KS in the morning and you pick up the animal at your closest local major airport in the afternoon or early evening.

We CAN NOT ship an animal if the temperature is above 85 or below 45 anywhere along the route. The cabin on the plains are temperature controlled but the time the animals are being loaded,  unloaded or moved from one plain to another there is no protection.

An example of the cost from three recent shipments shipped. One was two sugar gliders in the same container and the other was 12 hairless rats in the same container the third had 50 Dumbo rats in two containers taped together.

$60 to $177 Shipping cost (including fuel charge and all taxes)
