I believe airborne express ships live cargo... have your friend CAREFULLY box them up and write fragile on the box... and ship them out to you!

It's just a thought. By the way, I was always under the impression that rabbits actually ARE rodents... I guess I was wrong. Dictionary.com has the definition:

Rodent: Any of various mammals of the order Rodentia, such as a mouse, rat, squirrel, or beaver, characterized by large incisors adapted for gnawing or nibbling.

Don't rabbits have large incisors for nibbling? I thought they did.

And that airline sounds stupid.

Bleh.
