You can buy live animals on amazon US?
The US Postal Service will ship and handle packages with live chicks inside.
It's not that the post service will do it that surprises me. It's that amazon does it. There's nothing like this on the UK variant although I know the post service will take live crickets and things.
If they didn't, I'd have to revise my business model a bit.
Username checks out
I worked for an insect farm for over a year. It was run by unremarkable capitalists of mediocre intelligence who wouldn't accept any assertion that there was room for improvement.
Because they failed so hard at growing a certain species of grub, we had to truck in our stock of that species from another company so we could resell it. They must have had pretty bad containment procedures because crickets got in with the grubs. But the crickets were fine in transit.
You can buy a lot of insects that people use for pest control (ladybugs, mantis egg cases) or animal food (crickets, various larva), or pets (ants, centipedes).
And apparently also hermit crabs, which seems extra cruel
This is wild to me
