Ira Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 There have been a few discussions of these, do a search. They're not on the allowed import list, so I'd be a bit wary of ordering that. However there is a native species around, it's rare though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I saw a Triops kit (yes the one with the cheesy volcano and googly eyed kids on the box) about 2 months back in a box lot at Tauranga Auctions, I missed out on it cause some one was on a kids toy mission and the box lot went for $100. But they are definately in the country, and if someone can find them they are supposedly easy to breed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 It is often not the animal being imported but the disease it might carry that is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
