French Lop Rabbits for Sale in Colorado
French Lops, 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Colorado by USDA certified ground pet transport. $350 for bucks and does alike.
Wondering whether a French Lop Rabbit can actually reach you in Colorado? It can, and it travels a great deal better than most people expect. We are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California. Ground transport is arranged with a USDA certified pet transport service, your bunny goes by road in a climate-controlled vehicle, and you are welcome to collect from us instead if you prefer. $350 for bucks and does alike.
What happens between here and Colorado
It starts with a message: which bunny, and where in Colorado. We price that run for your address and come back with a date, and the date is chosen by the weather on the route rather than by what is convenient.
Then a USDA certified pet transport service takes over the ground leg. They do this for a living, in a climate-controlled vehicle, with regular stops for water and a look at the animal. There is no flight involved at any point and your bunny never travels as cargo.
They hand your bunny to you at your door, in person, and you will have heard from us while it was on the road rather than only at the end.
Getting to Colorado: how long, and the drive if you prefer
By transport, from two days. Colorado is 1,000 to 1,200 miles out, 2 days on the road with the stops counted in. Colorado winters are cold but dry, which rabbits handle well. What we watch is the mountain passes: a heavy snow forecast on I-70 moves the delivery rather than risking a rabbit sitting in a stopped vehicle.
By your own car, about 17 to 21 hours. That is two to three days each way with overnight stops, and families do it every year. The advantage is simple: you see the litter, you pick the one that comes to you rather than the one that photographed best, and nobody else carries your bunny home. Collection from us is free.
Getting a French Lop to Colorado
Colorado is 1,000 to 1,200 miles from us, 2 days on the road. The run is handled by a USDA certified pet transport service, in a climate-controlled vehicle with regular stops for water and a check. Your bunny goes by road the whole way: never flown, and never shipped as cargo.
What this breed's size means for the journey. This is the one where distance genuinely matters. A 10lb rabbit needs a large carrier, more water stops and more airflow, so a long run takes more planning and we will talk you through it honestly before agreeing a date.
Colorado weather, and this breed
Colorado winters are cold but dry, which rabbits handle well. What we watch is the mountain passes: a heavy snow forecast on I-70 moves the delivery rather than risking a rabbit sitting in a stopped vehicle.
A large body sheds heat slowly, which makes the French Lop the most heat-sensitive of the four on a long journey. Summer deliveries to the southern half of the country are overnight only, and we will move a date rather than push one.
French Lops ready for Colorado now
Raised indoors and handled daily. If one of these has gone by the time you write, ask and we will tell you honestly what is coming rather than take a deposit against a maybe.
Keeping a French Lop in the Mountain West
A large rabbit holds its own in Mountain West cold with no difficulty at all, and a French Lop with a winter coat is comfortable in Denver or Bozeman. Summer is the constraint. Sore hocks are also worth naming here: hard flooring plus a heavy rabbit is the common Mountain West complaint we hear.
Size. 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit. Care. Size drives everything. A French Lop needs a much larger enclosure than people expect, and sore hocks from hard flooring are the common problem, so soft bedding is a requirement rather than a nicety. Nails monthly and a proper look over the back end weekly, because a rabbit this size cannot always reach.
What it gets mistaken for. Confused with the Flemish Giant, which is larger again, and with an overweight Mini Lop. A French Lop is large by breed rather than by feeding. Everything about the French Lop.
The other three breeds, also delivered to Colorado
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Colorado, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Mini Lops for sale in Colorado, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- Netherland Dwarfs for sale in Colorado, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown
Housing a French Lop indoors
Every rabbit we raise lives indoors and we would ask that yours does too. A hutch at the bottom of a Colorado garden is a shorter, lonelier life, and this is a companion animal that does badly kept at a distance.
Floor space beats cage height every time. 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit, so size the pen off that rather than off what a pet shop sells.
