No not slowly and no she can't swim! Is it the usual pet route on an aircraft with me?

I think so. For more info if you go to the air canada site they have a section on exotics. I think the

also has info on it.

Our stuff is taking 8 - 10 weeks to be shipped over. Maybe your tortoise is taking it for us. Could you tell him to get a shift on!!

Are there any issues with importing tortoises, you're not allowed to in UK any more are you?

You need a licence I think but you also need one to sell them too. So usually breeders I would guess.
From the site on the previous post I do need to apply for a permit which I will do nearer the time. Time it's taking for processing she would have time to walk to Vancouver and back!

Bloody pets are a pain sometimes, usually only on the wallet!

Our cats will have cost around £1,000 to get over there by the time they're finished.

Mind you they did insist on Premier Class with fully reclineable seats

Hi Ellsie

Just wondered if you and your tortoise have made it to Canada yet? (No pun intended...!)

I'm hoping to bring mine.

Hi Autumn, yes we are here and arrived last october.. I have not been on here for a while so I don't know your circumstances. Everyone thinks I have a turtle here! Please ask away if you want to know more!

hiya,

i'm looking to bring a pet snake over next year...

but most airlines seem to be only into cats and dogs. Which one did you fly, if you don't mind me asking?

Cheers
