Has anyone ever brought something from hamm and its died on the coach or when youve gto it home and if it does what do you do about it ?
Presumably you can't get your money back :S

It's a risk you take im afraid.

Unless you're buying from a very big breeder you are unlikely to get any guarantee, not even 24 hours. At the end of the day, it could well be your transportation conditions that killed the animal, and nothing to do with it's health/quality, so there's no way breeders would guarantee it.

Just make sure they're packed correctly and this time of year it's unlikely to be too hot (which kills a lot easier than too cold, as too cold you can always use a heat pack anyway) so it's unlikely to happen... but yes, it is a risk you take with anything you buy from a show really.

have either of ou ever had anything thats died form hamm?

[Diablo]

I havent but I know of someone but that was due to packaging.

If Traveling via coach I can not stress to you that you DO NOT use heat packs in the coach hold.

[Athravan]

Nope, I've been fine so far

But some of the UK shows last year were in July with no air conditioning and the temperatures were soaring, and I think it did affect some of the babies especially with long (5 hour) trips home.

Im hoping to get a normal royal, brb and a crestie, cos i wont have much money but y'know could end up taking more
D'ya reckon i would be able to bring those 3 home on the coach or would it take up more than 2 poly boxes?
