Re: shipping gerbils

[Douglas White]

I must say something, some have been said driving the gerbils to someone is
legal, not unless it is in the same state. You cannot transport live animals
across state lines without a health certificate issued by a vet. This is a
little known and not enforced law I stumbled upon 2 years ago and gerbils are
not listed as authorized animals to be shipped by airlines. I had to go
through several airlines before one (USAir) decided a gerbil was same as a
hamster, so technically there is no legal way to transport gerbils in the US.
