French Lop Rabbits for Sale in Louisiana
French Lops, 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Louisiana by USDA certified ground pet transport. $350 for bucks and does alike.
A French Lop Rabbit from our house to your door in Louisiana. 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.
What happens between here and Louisiana
It starts with a message: which bunny, and where in Louisiana. 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.
Louisiana: the timings
Two days is the floor for anywhere, and Louisiana sits at 3 days because it is 1,850 to 2,150 miles of road from Bakersfield. That figure already includes the stops and the overnight breaks; it is not a straight-line estimate. The most humid state we deliver into, and humidity is harder on a rabbit than temperature alone. Summer runs are overnight and we watch the forecast closely.
Driving out instead? It is about 32 to 37 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 Louisiana
Louisiana is 1,850 to 2,150 miles from us, 3 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.
Louisiana weather, and this breed
The most humid state we deliver into, and humidity is harder on a rabbit than temperature alone. Summer runs are overnight and we watch the forecast closely.
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 Louisiana 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 South
The pairing we are most cautious about of all thirty-two. A 10lb rabbit sheds heat slowly and Southern humidity removes the cooling mechanism. A French Lop in Louisiana, Mississippi or Florida is viable only in a properly cooled house, and we would rather talk you out of it than sell you one that struggles.
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 Louisiana buyers should add the delivery on top of that.
