I have never shipped livestock before. What is the best method you have used?

Thanks,
Jason

PA is probably chilly by now.
What i do is triple bag, air filled. Place bag inside small thermos, tape heat pack on the underside of the lid the thermos. place thermos in box, stuff empty spaces with peanuts / newspapers, write FRAGILE, THIS SIDE UP, DO NOT LEAVE IN SUN on the box, and you're good to go.

How do you fill the bags with air-what kinda air?

I use an air pump to pump air in the bag and then zip tie it tightly. Wouldn't it get really warm with the heat pack in the thermo? Where do you find the thermos?
