International shipping

[ViperJr]

After waiting well over 4 months since the tank was ready, and well over 7 months all in all, I'm getting a bit restless waiting for the RETF. They are very rare here in Sweden, and last time I got someone to get 3 for me from Hamm, they all died it that persons care due to some infection. Now, a zoo in the southern part of the country told me that they would get some mid-June. However, I just got email where he says that he can't get them, so I have to wait until September unless something else shows up.

So the quiestion is:
Does someone ship frogs internationally? Or is to dangerous for them (stress, temperature, humudity)?

It's generally illegal to ship animals over international borders without the proper paperwork and permits. I personally can't tell you how to obtain these. Sorry.

Understory Enterprises might know how to do that.They are in Canada and ship to the USA and Europe I believe.

I' talked to them and they do indeed ship here. But they did of course not have any RETF...
Thanks alot for the tip though!
