Wondering whether a French Lop Rabbit can actually reach you in Idaho? 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.
Questions we get about getting a bunny to Idaho
Who actually does the driving? A USDA certified pet transport service. They carry live animals for a living, in a climate-controlled vehicle, and they stop regularly for water and a check.
Is my bunny ever flown? No. Road the whole way, every time. Nothing of ours goes in a cargo hold.
What does it cost? Quoted for your address rather than off a chart, and you are told before you commit.
How is the date set? Around the weather on the route. We would rather move a run than send a rabbit into heat or snow.
Can I just come and get it? Yes, and you are very welcome to.
Getting to Idaho: how long, and the drive if you prefer
By transport, from two days. Idaho is 750 to 950 miles out, 1 to 2 days on the road with the stops counted in. An easy summer run up through Nevada. Winter over the higher ground occasionally adds a day.
By your own car, about 13 to 16 hours. That is two days each way with an overnight stop, 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 Idaho
Idaho is 750 to 950 miles from us, 1 to 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.
Idaho weather, and this breed
An easy summer run up through Nevada. Winter over the higher ground occasionally adds a day.
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 Idaho 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 Idaho
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Idaho, about 2 to 4 lb full grown

- Netherland Dwarfs for sale in Idaho, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown
Buying at a distance, honestly
You cannot walk in and look, so the questions matter more. Ask for a video call with the rabbit before you send anything. Ask what happens if it does not work out. Ask how many litters we run a year and you will get a number rather than a change of subject.
We would rather answer all three now than have a French Lop come back from Idaho at six months.
