Delivered to Montana
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 delivered to Montana by USDA certified ground pet transport. $350 for bucks and does alike.
Two ways this works if you are in Montana. We bring your bunny to you, or you come and fetch them. We are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California. The first is a coordinated ground run with a USDA certified pet transport service, climate controlled and by road the whole way. The second is a drive out, a proper look at the litter, and your bunny home on somebody's lap.
Both are straightforward and we will talk you through either. $350 for bucks and does alike.
How delivery to Montana works
- Tell us which bunny and whereabouts you are. The one you have your eye on, and your nearest town in Montana.
- 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.
How long it takes to Montana
From two days. Montana is 1,100 to 1,400 miles from us, which works out at 2 days by road once the stops and overnight breaks are counted. Cold is fine for a rabbit. Snow closing the route is not, so winter deliveries are planned around the forecast.
If you would rather drive it yourself, Bakersfield is about 19 to 24 hours from Montana 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 Montana
Montana is 1,100 to 1,400 miles from us, 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.
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 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 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.
