This is a pre-order item. These animals are already on hand at our facility and currently completing quarantine before we ship. Estimated ship window: 2-3 weeks. We only ship animals when weather conditions are safe to make sure they arrive healthy — you'll get an email the moment your order is on its way. Note: if your order includes a pre-order item, everything ships together once it's ready.
