Shipping rodents

tonychi01 Feb 03, 2008 12:06 PM

Why won't anyone ship live ASF? Is there laws against shipping live rodents? I can't find anyone that will ship to Chicago or anyone in the area, just wanted to know why?
Thanks~Tony

I searched the classifieds in feeder/food and could not find big daddy's anywhere.
Thanks for the reply!

ASF's in Chicago? Easy.

Go to this show...

www.allanimalexpo.com

and look for Carl Vail, he has them for $3 each usually. You may have to ask as they aren't always on display.

If you are going to be there late it may help to email him first to hold them for you. His email should be in the vendors list on the expo website.

thanks! I was at the last show in january and I didn't see any. I gues I should've asked around. Thanks again!! ~Tony

You don't happen to know his email? They did not have it on the vendors list. Thanks~Tony

Sorry I don't have it. Carl Vail usually has them, and there is at least one other live rodent seller that sometimes has them. If you get there right at 10 am or close to it and ask all the live rodent sellers you are sure to find some.

I got my original stock from Carl Vail when he first sold them over a year ago.
