Species-specific transport rules. The full long-form guide is still being written — the critical rules below are authoritative and reflect current Steampunk Farms practice.
Top Rules
- Offer hay throughout transport — keeps the gut moving
- Heat threshold is 80°F, lower than most species
- Hard-sided carrier with hay bedding
- Out of direct sunlight at all times
Full guide coming soon
We’re expanding this into a long-form guide covering vehicle selection, loading techniques, temperature thresholds, species-specific paperwork, and partner facilities. In the meantime, the rules above + the main Safe Animal Transport Basics guide cover the core protocols.
