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.
