French Lop Rabbits for Sale in Maine
French Lops, 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Maine by USDA certified ground pet transport. $350 for bucks and does alike.
You want a French Lop Rabbit. You live in Maine. We are in Bakersfield, California. None of that is a problem, and here is why. A USDA certified pet transport service brings your bunny to your door by road, climate controlled the whole way, and plenty of Maine families have taken that route. Plenty of others have driven out and collected in person instead. $350 for bucks and does alike.
Questions we get about getting a bunny to Maine
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.
How long it takes to Maine
From two days. Maine is 2,950 to 3,250 miles from us, which works out at 4 to 5 days by road once the stops and overnight breaks are counted. The furthest point in the lower 48 from Bakersfield. We are honest that this is a long journey and we plan it properly rather than quickly.
If you would rather drive it yourself, Bakersfield is about 51 to 56 hours from Maine behind the wheel, two to three days each way with overnight stops. A good number of families do exactly that: you meet the parents, you choose in person rather than from a photograph, and your bunny comes home on somebody's lap. Collection is free and we work around whatever time you can get here.
Getting a French Lop to Maine
Maine is 2,950 to 3,250 miles from us, 4 to 5 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.
Maine weather, and this breed
The furthest point in the lower 48 from Bakersfield. We are honest that this is a long journey and we plan it properly rather than quickly.
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.
The other three breeds, also delivered to Maine
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Maine, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Mini Lops for sale in Maine, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- Netherland Dwarfs for sale in Maine, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown
Is a French Lop right for your household?
Worth settling before the distance and the delivery. For a household that has properly understood that this is a 10lb-plus animal that needs floor space rather than a hutch. Very calm, very tolerant, and the most dog-like of the four. Not a starter rabbit, and not one for a small child to carry.
If that does not describe your household, say so and we will tell you which of the four would suit better. Sometimes the answer is none of them, and that is a better outcome than a rabbit in the wrong home in Maine.
