Getting a Holland Lop to North Carolina

Five days.

The Research Triangle has good exotics vets. Asheville has the best climate in the state for a rabbit.

What the North Carolina climate means for a Holland Lop

Varies enormously with elevation. Asheville in the mountains is comfortable most of the year. Charlotte and the coastal plain get properly hot and humid in summer.

What North Carolina owners should know

North Carolina varies more with elevation than almost any state we ship to. Asheville and the western mountains are comfortable for a rabbit nearly year round and are one of the best climates in the southeast. Charlotte, Raleigh and the piedmont get properly hot and humid in July and August. The coastal plain is worse again. The Research Triangle has excellent exotics veterinary care, and NC State runs one of the top veterinary schools in the country in Raleigh, which is genuinely worth knowing if you ever face something complicated.

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.
