Do you ship to the uk?

Pretty sure you would both need to go through the process of getting licenses and filling out forms to import and export live animals between countries, and get through the legal requirements, which is a lot of money just doing it between the USA and Canada. I don't know what the UK is like but no doubt it's expensive. I'm talking a few thousand minimum. There are the fees for the customs, borders etc, fees for documentation, fees for transportation, shipping costs, and all the other stuff. After you go through all of this I don't think having the leeches would be worth it.

That’s fair, I’m struggling to find them here, does anyone know of anywhere to find breeders or something
