    Domestic/pet lagomorph import seems to only be allowed from NZ

    Commercial imports are possible from the UK.

    I would recommend braving a separation - find bun a new home.

    Here are some pages to view if you need to look further, BUT I would
    strongly suggest contacting AQIS yourself and employing a shipping agent
    - it is a minefield

    I havent heard of anyone taking a rabbit, but my export experience has
    been with cats and dogs.

    I would say it would be a terribly stressful journey for a rabbit even
    if it is possible.

    I shall ask some vet nurse friends I use to work with and see
    what they say.

    I had rabbit stew once and I didnt like it.

    Good news for the bunny being made of tough stuff - less likely to
    be stewed!

    I too had a very much loved bunny before I moved to Australia. I
    considered bringing her here but she was already an old bunny and I
    thought, even if she was allowed, the journey would just finish her off.
    So I eventually found a fantastic home for her where I know she's being
    really well looked after and is certainly well loved now. I must say I
    was still incredibly sad to say goodbye to her!
    Let us know how you go.
