rat shipping...

I was under the impression that rat shipping was very rarely done because of the costs. $100+ to ship rats.

the guy I am working with ships them in all the time. I was hoping I could find filtered boxes with the wire insert I think that's what I need. I was hoping I could find a place to buy them I might have to make something not sure. any info would be great THANKS!!!!!

Just curious as to what carrier he uses to ship them into you.

He has then shipped into him through delta, frontier, and Alaska air. just depends what airline ships on both ends.

Why not ask him for the boxes?

Rats are supposed to be shipped as any mammal, i.e. with a health certificate each, overnight in the special container via airline shipping(like puppies or kittens would be). That's why it's normally very expensive.

I'd be interested in information as to how he's shipping and what the containers are like, just out of curiosity.

I'm not understanding. Shipping live rats is very expensive. He ships them to you. You are fixing to ship some back to him.

Just curious, what's the deal?

no he is not shipping to me I am trying to ship to him. I was trying to find a line on some new boxes but i guess i will have to wait till he ships me the old ones.

Here's a few links I found via a quick web search for rodent airline shipping boxes:
