Hi There,

Am I able to take my pet rabbit when moving to MA from New Zealand under an exotic pet?

Cheers,

Hi Rachael,

Thanks for submitting a question to us! To start, here are the pet import requirements for the United States. As you'll see, it's not a country that's particularly restrictive when it comes to bringing pets in, and rabbits are allowed.

That being said, you'll want to proceed carefully, as rabbits are very sensitive to the stresses of  travel. We have helped several rabbits move safely, and it definitely requires quite a bit of careful planning. To start, talk to your vet about any questions or concerns you have, and then if you decide to go forward, book a flight on a pet-friendly airline and work to make sure your Mini Lop will be as well-hydrated and well-taken care of as possible during every step of the journey.

Here's a little more about rabbit travel from our blog. If you're interested in finding out more about our door-to-door services, please fill out our free quote form or give our office a call.

Hope this helps to get you on the right track! Please let us know if we can be of further service, and have a great and safe trip.
