Some ASF Colors! Lots of Pics!

Yes, and no. They're illegal in some states, so technically you're not allowed to ship them through those states.

But if the shipping route goes through no states where the ASFs are illegal, then it's fine.
Which is nearly impossible to do if you're more than a few states apart. :(

Thanks Rhasputin! Is their a reason why they are illegal in some states?

It's a really stupid ban on African mammals. It's really only supposed to effect things like lions, gazelle, baboons, hyenas and other stupid things like that. But since the law is worded loosely, some other animals sometimes get put under the law.

That's why in some places African Hedgehogs are illegal too. Here in VA, we have the law, but we're allowed to have Egyptian Spiny mice (but not nile spiny mice), ASFs, and African hedgehogs.

There are some states where one person will tell you they're illegal, and another will tell you they're not. It's absolutely awful! :mad:

want to support your claim with some facts please?

Most states put a ban on animals they feel are a threat to "indigenous" species. African really has no bearing.

With that said, there WAS a ban on many african rodents due to the Monkey pox out break. Note the word, "was".

The monkey pox ban was federal.

Curious, how do you plan to ship and control where you ship through?

To the best of my knowledge, you can only ship mammals terminal to terminal via an airport legally unless you plan to pay a personal/private carrier to do so for you.

Yes, you ship through air lines, or private couriers. But couriers are expensive.

I agree. I also raise American Bulldogs! Shipping through the Airlines for an 8 week old pup runs $250-350. You also have to have a health certificate from a vet for each puppy plus buy the Airline approved crate. I'm not sure how they would do it for rodents. I usually use a private dog transportation service when I can. Airlines also have lots of weather restrictions making shipping sometimes impossible.

Shipping mice by airline is about $180 including the cost of making a shipping crate.
