A very longshot, I know. In June we are relocating to Germany and want to take our 2 house rabbits with us. Our local vet and endless hours of online searching have not given any clear process or guidance - can anyone help?
Eat them.
Rule of thumb is ask the destination country what their regs are. Phone the German embassy. Second best is get in touch with APHA. Their pet export division is based in their Carlisle office AFAIK.
Third approach is ask an animal consignment company - there are a few of these near most of the major airports - they may well have come across this issue before - but tend to charge handsomely for their services.
From a brief search I see they need 4 months in quarantine if coming into the UK - so I'd think twice about taking them if you intend to bring them back.
Gowrie, many thanks!
Sorry I can't help with the rabbits but whereabouts in Germany are you moving to?
Just South Of Frankfurt - so also busy looking at MTB routes 🙂 Spoke with the Embassy and they referred me to the Welfare Council would couldn't help. I will try another Vet.
Done lots of cats and dogs but not Rabbits. Looks a bit more complicated. The suggestion of talking to one of the export companies is a good one as they will likely have dealt with this lots whereas your local vet will likely never had to export rabbits before.
Guide on export of live animals from APHA which does talk about rabbits and hares but not specifically pet rabbits (commercial rabbit growing for meat is quite big in some areas of Europe)
Good luck
