French Lop Rabbits for Sale in Connecticut
French Lops, 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and driven to Connecticut by us. $350 for bucks and does alike.
We are in Bakersfield, California, not in Connecticut, and we would rather say so than build a page pretending we are down the road from you. What we do is drive to you: 4 days to Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford or anywhere smaller, arranged by us rather than handed to a courier. $350 for bucks and does alike.
Getting a French Lop to Connecticut
Connecticut is 2,750 to 3,000 miles from us, 4 days on the road. We drive it ourselves in a climate-controlled vehicle with regular stops. No depot, no holding facility, no handover between carriers, and never flown or 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.
Connecticut weather, and this breed
Near the furthest point we drive to. A winter nor easter moves a delivery by a day without argument.
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 Connecticut now
Raised indoors and handled daily. If this one has gone, ask and we will tell you honestly what is coming rather than take a deposit against a maybe.
Keeping a French Lop in New England
A large, well-coated rabbit is comfortable in a New England winter and this is a good regional fit on temperature. Two things matter: floor space through a five-month indoor season, and soft flooring, because sore hocks in a heavy rabbit on hard boards is the single most common problem we hear about from this region.
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.

What a French Lop actually costs in the first year
The rabbit is the cheapest part. Housing, a spay or neuter, hay by the bale, pellets and an annual vet visit run well past the purchase price, and Connecticut buyers should add the delivery on top of that.
