Default Can you emmigrate with a rabbit?

I think that Oz won't allow it, but can a neutered and fully vaccinated rabbit be moved too?

We have a rescue rabbit and the thought of leaving him behind somewhere is a bit upsetting as he is the coolest thing around (someone needs to tell him what a rabbit is supposed to act like and not a dog )

Cheers,

Check with MAF I don't think rabbits have an IHS (import health standard). They do not let much in.

Sadly, no, not from UK.

From Biosecurity NZ:

It is not possible to import pet birds, reptiles or rodents into New Zealand as we do not have import health standards for these companion animals. Rabbits may imported but only from Australia.

I was thinking either a very undercooked pie, or a seriously good vet
