    Shipping feeders

    Hey, I'd like to say thanks in advance for the help. I'm looking into how to ship frozen feeders to a friend. Could I use 1.5in styrofoam to line the box and add a cool pack?

    When i order frozen rat or rabbits they always use dry ice, i dont think the cool packs will keep the food frozen until it gets to your friends house.

    You should check your chosen shipper's specific TOS. FedEx and UPS may differ.

    Last time I looked, you can ship with less than 5 pounds, but it must be specifically labeled. Over 5 pounds is another regulatory ball game altogether.

    If you ignore the requirements even on the <5 pound limit, there could be negative legal implications.
