French Lops for Sale

French Lops available now

French Lop bunnies for sale, and the size nobody warns you about

A French Lop bunny for sale looks like any other lop kit in a photograph. At eight weeks it already weighs what a grown Holland Lop weighs, and it keeps going until about ten months. This is the single thing to be certain about before you commit, because a French Lop does not fit the setup most people buy.

You need a pen of at least 6 ft by 3 ft as a base and a rabbit-proofed room to spend real time in. Buy the largest litter tray you can find and a small dog crate rather than a rabbit carrier. Everything scales with the animal, including the vet bill, because anaesthetic and medication are dosed by weight.

What "giant French Lop" means

Usually nothing. Searches for a giant French Lop, a giant French Lop eared rabbit, or giant French Lop rabbits for sale almost always describe this breed rather than a separate one. The French Lop is already among the largest domestic rabbits, so "giant" is a description rather than a variety. The genuinely bigger animal is the Flemish Giant, a different breed we do not keep.

Temperament, which is the reason to want one

Placid, slow moving and unbothered by household noise that would send a Netherland Dwarf under the sofa. They tolerate handling well and a settled French Lop will sit against you for as long as you let it. This is the breed people mean when they talk about a dog-like rabbit.

Handle with both hands and full support under the back end, always, and never at chest height. A fifteen pound rabbit that kicks free can break its own spine. Sit on the floor instead, which most French Lops prefer anyway. Care, temperament and lifespan.

Bucks and does

A French Lop buck for sale and a French Lop doe cost the same here. If you want a buck specifically, say so when you write, because what any given litter produces is luck. Whether it matters at all is worth reading first, and the short answer is less than people think once the rabbit is neutered.
