No bunnies are ready to go this week. We only list them once they are, so check back rather than joining a waitlist.
Getting a Holland Lop to Montana
Three days north and east. A longer route and less frequently travelled, so timing can be less flexible.
This is one of the few states where we spend more time talking about winter than summer.
What the Montana climate means for a Holland Lop
Cold is the story here, not heat. Montana winters are severe and a rabbit in an unheated outbuilding is at real risk of frostbite on the ears, which lops are particularly exposed to. Summers are short and mild and pose almost no heat problem.
What Montana owners should know
Montana is one of the few states where the winter conversation matters more than the summer one. A Holland Lop kept in an unheated outbuilding through a Montana January is at real risk, and lop ears frostbite before anything else does. Summers are short and mild and pose essentially no heat threat. Exotics vets are genuinely sparse and concentrated in Missoula, Bozeman and Billings, and if you are rural you may be a two hour drive from the nearest vet who will see a rabbit. That is worth knowing before you need it at nine at night.
Common questions
Is winter or summer the bigger risk in Montana?
Winter, clearly. Summers are short and mild and pose essentially no heat threat. A Holland Lop in an unheated outbuilding through a Montana January is at real risk, and lop ears frostbite before anything else does.
How far is the nearest rabbit vet in Montana?
Potentially a long way. Exotics vets are concentrated in Missoula, Bozeman and Billings. If you are rural you could be two hours out, and GI stasis does not wait two hours.
Before you buy
Two things are worth reading first, and both are the sort of thing a seller would rather you did not think about until after the sale.
- How long they actually live. Seven to fourteen years.
- What the first year actually costs. The rabbit is about a quarter of it.
We do not take money for a litter that does not exist yet, and there is no waiting list. If nothing here suits you today, check back rather than pay to hold a place. More on how we work.
