Animals for sale and rehoming in New Zealand

The search found no usable prices for live animals in New Zealand, because its results were toys and books, so this page gives no figure. Prices depend on the species, age, breed and the seller, and each animal is quoted on its own. Find the animal you want through the subcategories linked below, then describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

  • The species and breed, and whether the animal is a pet or farm stock
  • The age of the animal
  • The number of animals, and whether they are sold as a group
  • Delivery between your city and the seller

Welfare rules you must follow

The Animal Welfare Act 1999 places obligations on people who own or are in charge of animals to provide for their welfare. The May 2015 amendments strengthened protection by allowing stronger welfare standards. Once you take an animal on, the same duties apply to you, so check the animal's health and housing before you agree. Farm operations follow the Act and the welfare codes too.

Season and where animals can live

Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August. Young animals, poultry and bees need shelter from cold winter nights and from hot summer days, so ask about housing before you collect. A kennel, run or enclosure should be ready before the animal arrives, whatever the season.

Delivery and how it is quoted

Ask whether the price is per animal, per head or per group, and whether it includes transport. State your city, which can be Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton or Tauranga, or the nearest town, so the seller can say whether they deliver or whether you collect. Ask for the animal's age and breed in writing.

Describe the animal, the number you need, your city and whether it is a pet or farm stock in a chat on BlaBlaPrice. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and listings in New Zealand, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose. For related listings see dogs or farm animals.
