Transport Information

Animals will be delivered by USDA-licensed carriers on scheduled routes nationwide, typically once or twice a month. Exact delivery dates are estimates, affected by weather, traffic, or route changes. Buyers will receive updates directly from the transporter. Animals must be received by the authorized person with a government-issued ID within 15 minutes of arrival. Failure to comply may result in animals returning to E.A Ranch, additional fees, or sale cancellation.

Transport Deposit & Health Certificates

A nonrefundable deposit is required to book transport. Private transport or larger animals may require higher deposits. Health certificates are required for interstate shipments (excluding hedgehogs and sugar gliders) and are issued by licensed veterinarians. Fees vary depending on species and shipment size.

Transport Fees

Fees include travel carrier, food, and bedding. Additional animals to the same address receive discounts. Examples: - Hedgehogs: $200 for up to 3 babies, $100 per extra crate - Sugar Gliders: $200 per cage plus $25 for the transport cage - Lemurs: $1.50/mile (TX only) - Other exotics: $500 minimum for multi-stop transport Private transport offers faster delivery with dedicated attention.

Local Pickups

Texas residents may pick up animals directly at E.A Ranch. Appointments must be scheduled 24+ hours in advance. All animals must be collected within 7 days of their "ready by" date. Proof of proper habitat setup may be required before release.

Health & Buyer Responsibility

Transport can be stressful. Once an animal leaves E.A Ranch, we cannot guarantee its condition. Buyers should insure animals during transit if desired, and follow all care, pickup, and transport instructions provided.

Private & Multi-Stop Transporters

Trusted transporters nationwide provide multi-stop and private/semi-private options. Multi-stop handles small exotics and baby hoofstock; private transport ensures faster delivery, video/photo updates, and personal attention. Buyers must follow transporter instructions and social media updates for accurate ETAs.
