Most mice you'll see at Hamm are lab mice, but you'll also see some smaller breeders with fancy mice.
Bringing mice back to the UK is not a problem, I know lots of people that did that, from a few mice, to several boxes with a 100 each in there. Mice are cheaper over here, although Hamm is more expensive than the Dutch shows.
As far as I know you can safely take rodent species (unless protected for some reason) back with you to the UK, no problems with customs. |

OK, now I wish I was going !!!
I sold off my lab mice a while back because I had too many commitments on the go. Now things have eased off I cannot find anyone selling them over here.
Anyone from South Wales willing to bring back a few for me |

How long is the trip by coach roughly?
How cheap is it compared to flying ? I know plenty of people who are driving there so bringing animals back is not a problem. _________________ My website isn't quite there yet, as I got bored half way through writing it.
