French Lop Rabbits for Sale in Montana
French Lops, 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and driven to Montana by us. $350 for bucks and does alike.
We are in Bakersfield, California, not in Montana, 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: 2 days to Billings, Missoula, Bozeman or anywhere smaller, arranged by us rather than handed to a courier. $350 for bucks and does alike.
Getting a French Lop to Montana
Montana is 1,100 to 1,400 miles from us, 2 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.
Montana weather, and this breed
Cold is fine for a rabbit. Snow closing the route is not, so winter deliveries are planned around the forecast.
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 Montana 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 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 driven to Montana
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Montana, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Mini Lops for sale in Montana, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- Netherland Dwarfs for sale in Montana, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown
What arrives with your French Lop
A care sheet written for this breed rather than for rabbits in general, enough of the food it is already on to change over across a week, and its date of birth and parentage in writing. The full list.
Have a vet in mind before it travels to Montana. Rabbits need a vet who actually sees rabbits, and that is worth checking in advance rather than in an emergency.
