Default Shipping Rabbit from Uk to NZ

Has anyone done this and if so, how much does it cost and how long does it take?

Thanks,

I think the first task is to contact the New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) to see if importation of a rabbit is allowed. MAF does allow dogs and cats, but I've never heard of someone bringing in a bunny.

I am hoping someone will have done this and uses this site. I know Rabbits are pets in NZ as I have lived there before - I am just unsure about importing.
