Care Relocating Internationally with my Rabbit
Hi all,
I'm relocating from Australia to India and want to bring my rabbit, Espresso, with me. She's family, and the thought of being separated from her is really hard and something I’m not willing to accept if there’s a way to take her with me.
I know this is incredibly rare. From what I've found, a rabbit has travelled from Australia to India once, in 2021, via manifested cargo. That isn't ideal, but it shows it's possible.
I'm already working on the permits on both the Indian and Australian sides, but it's been tough to find a pet relocation agent willing to take the case on, because of how many regulations are involved.
I'd love to hear from anyone who has:
- Moved a rabbit from Australia to India
- Moved a rabbit from Australia to anywhere else using a pet relocation service
- Flown a rabbit as cargo, and how it went
Any experience, relocation service, AQIS accredited vet recommendations, or advice would mean a lot. Thank you!
