Seriously, a bona fide query.

I have never seen hamsters or gerbils for sale in NZ. Can you get them?

Apparently they are classed as pests. So I dont think so.
On a side note. Anyone know of where I can get a ferrit
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods
A chutney ferret?
Dawn, Guinea Pigs are a quite a bit bigger than hamsters and gerbils. I had gerbils as a kid, fucken funny little things. I think guinea pigs are cool but are more of an outdoor pet.
A proper ferret

Ferrets are poor misunderstood creatures, Im sure if we really gave them a chance, they would become as great a possums.

Gerbils And Hamsters Are Classed As Introduced Species And Are Destroyed By Border Control If Found. The Case Of The (crazy) Woman Who Smuggled In Her Pet Hamster From S.a. They Found Out About It When She Took It To The Vet. Ferrets Are Considered A Noxiuos Pest And Are No Longer Allowed To Be Kept As Pets Or Bred.
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
we will remember them
Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

I never realised that guinea pigs were a native NZ mammal!!
Tragically, the answer is no:

The HSNO Act (Second Schedule) lists new organisms that are completely prohibited for importation, release or development. Below is the current list of these 'Prohibited New Organisms'.Any snake of any species whatever.

Any beaver (Castor canadensis).
Any gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus).

On the bright side, gerbils are desert creatures. They would have been absolutely miserable in cold and humid NZ climate. I am.
"People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule
Dover get a Chinchilla they're cool, much better than all the other similar animals. Sorta like a rabbit cross a squirrel.
