Bringing back from hamm

[KJ Exotics]

Just a quick one, anyone know about bringing rodents back from hamm, plus what about the pymgy hedgehogs ?? Anyone knows the laws on this ?

rodants are fine to bring back but the hedgehogs will need 6 months quarentine.

you can bring as many rodents back as you can pursuade UK Customs are your "pets" if they think you're going to sell them they will be confiscated but it's never happened to me and I've bought back hundreds of guinea pigs from Holland and Germany

I'm probably going to bring back 15-20 small furries from Houten in April

Rodents have been included in the Pet Passport Scheme for several years now. Previously it had just included cats and dogs. The DEFRA website lists examples of common rodents that are covered by the scheme, and some Customs officers have insisted that these are the only ones included though this is not the case.
You may be asked to prove that they are your pets, as mentioned earlier. If there is a commercial aspect then you may have to go through Balai. It all depends on what you want to bring in, and the numbers involved.

Just to clarify, APH dont need quarenteen if you do it via the Bali Licence. The terms are they you have a vet on the sellers side to clarify health etc and a vet on the buyers side to again, clarify the health when they get in the country. These vets have to be recognised and know what they are doing etc, However if you do it this way, quarenteen isnt needed, its all above board and you can guarentee health of them as you have had 2 vet checks

i brought 2 aph back from hamm and went through customs with no probs and no mention of any quarantine from the customs officers 1 of the officers even held 1 of the hoggs so it wasnt as though i tried to sneak them in the country i gave full disclosure to customs and they didnt care about the aph.

Have you looked here it has some info on it and i would presume they will be right as they do it all the time. http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/whats...mm-houten.html

it is illegal to just bring hogs in, they need 6 months quarentine unless using the balai licence
if you brought them in with quarenteen then youve broke the law and risked bringing rabies into the uk
