The 11th of November was a reason to celebrate with Claudia and Frank in Ludwigshaufen.
For the past ten years both have been running their well-visited, well-outfitted terrarium in Kleinod, Ludwigshafen, where friends of exotic animals and those who are fascinated by colourful insects, reptiles and amphibians are sure to get their money’s worth.

I must admit that I am acquainted with the means and conditions of the transport of such creatures by air, although most of my knowledge stems from photos and specialised literature. So I freely accepted the invitation to the 10th anniversary. And I must say I was quite surprised at how friendly even spiders can be, both in their appearances and in their behaviour. Frank explained to me for example how tarantulas from Asia are known to be quite aggressive, whereas a Grammstola rosea is rather laid back and you can even take him in your hand.

Even my hand!

I (Paul) asked: So you are tarantula breeders? How does one become a tarantula breeder?

Claudia: It has always been Franks dream to have a tarantula as a pet. And once upon a time we had one. I myself had suffered from bad arachnophobia but I overcame it once I started observing the spider and getting to know it better. It was and is still a Lasiodora parahyband. Her name is Maja and she’s still alive today.

Paul: How long do spiders usually live ?

Goods delivered- Job done! Two Canadian beavers are alive and kicking, having arrived safely in their crates to London. A trip like this might be considered something special to the two VIP flight passengers, whereas for the Petshipping.com team, it’s almost an everyday thing. And even when beavers are not necessarily the order of the day, their transport is still routinely planned. What makes a beaver trip special is the transport housing. The interiors of the crates are lined with stable metal sheeting to prevent the little creatures from literally gnawing their crates to shreds while being shipped. Rodents are by no means passive little creature, not even out in nature. So extra special caution must be taken as nothing can be worse than the animals hurting themselves while trying to escape from their crates. Forty years of experience in air animal transport has finally paid off once our beavers have arrived healthy and stress free in their place of destination.

The Border Collie´s odyssey finally found a happy end once the team from G.K Airfreight Service decided to accept the dog from Kabul. It was the love for animals that led a diplomat from Sweden to bring the male Border Collie from Afghanistan to Sweden.

At least that was the plan. As far as the Afghani airline was concerned the pet shipping service posed no problem at all. Their philosophy was “put it in a box and off to Stockholm via Frankfurt”. But the journey to Europe was not to be as easy as one would expect. Once the Border Collie arrived at the Frankfurter airport without any certified documentation and open questions regarding the import clearance, the staff at Fraport A.G were immediately pressurised by animal welfare regulations to bring the dog to the animal station at Frankfurt airport.
