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 delivered to Connecticut by USDA certified ground pet transport. $350 for bucks and does alike.
A French Lop Rabbit from our house to your door in Connecticut. That is the short version. The longer one: we are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California, the ground run is done by a USDA certified pet transport service in a climate-controlled vehicle, and nothing we send is ever flown or shipped as cargo. Collection from Bakersfield is welcome any day you can get here. $350 for bucks and does alike.
How delivery to Connecticut works
- Tell us which bunny and whereabouts you are. The one you have your eye on, and your nearest town in Connecticut.
- We price the run for your address. Quoted for where you actually live, and you get the figure before you commit to anything.
- We agree a date around the weather. Set by what the route looks like rather than by the calendar.
- Your bunny travels by road, climate controlled. Regular stops for water and a check, in a carrier with room to turn round. Never flown, never cargo.
- It is handed to you in person. Straight from the transporter's hands to yours, at your address.
- You hear from us on the way. Updates while it is happening, not a message once it is done.
Connecticut: the timings
Two days is the floor for anywhere, and Connecticut sits at 4 days because it is 2,750 to 3,000 miles of road from Bakersfield. That figure already includes the stops and the overnight breaks; it is not a straight-line estimate. Near the furthest point we drive to. A winter nor easter moves a delivery by a day without argument.
Driving out instead? It is about 47 to 52 hours at the wheel, two to three days each way with overnight stops. Worth it for a lot of people, because you get to handle the whole litter before you decide and your bunny travels home with you rather than with anybody else. There is no charge for collecting.
Getting a French Lop to Connecticut
Connecticut is 2,750 to 3,000 miles from us, 4 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.
Connecticut weather, and this breed
Near the furthest point we deliver 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.

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 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.
