Live Rats Shipping

Hey everyone i need some advise
ive been selling the rats i dont need for my collection, i usually post the ads on craigslist and FB.
Today I received an email from a guy that lives in other state and he wants me to ship him some African Soft Fur rats but i dont know if i can do that, i know it will be expensive but he still want them shipped
so i think the cost of shipping isnt an issue

Do you know any company that ships rats?
Im in texas and the shippment will go from texas to Oklahoma

thanks

You'd probably have to talk to a lab. You have to use the special containers for the rats, and ship them like you would a puppy, so health certificates are required(for each rat?) and shipping overnight via an airline(that ships rodents, I think Delta Dash?).

(caveat: this is all from my hazy memory of when I researched it a few years ago).

Thank you for the reply i think it is very hard process
i will have to talk to the guy and let him know this and then ill see if he still want them ship

thanks again

Might go to you local USPS and ask them, I know they still ship chicks.

I will do it tomorrow because i think they are closed sunday:/
thanks for the info

ASF can't be taken across state lines, so I doubt you'd be able to ship them legally anyway.

Couldn't you both drive half way and meet somewhere? But like someone said you may not be able to take ASF's across state lines.
