French Lop Rabbits for Sale in New Hampshire
French Lops, 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to New Hampshire by USDA certified ground pet transport. $350 for bucks and does alike.
Every week somebody in New Hampshire asks whether we can really get a bunny that far. We can, and this page sets out exactly how. We are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California. The ground run is handled by a USDA certified pet transport service in a climate-controlled vehicle, and collection from us is always an option if you fancy the drive. $350 for bucks and does alike.
So how does a bunny actually get to New Hampshire?
You tell us which one you want and roughly where in New Hampshire you are. We come back with a price for your actual address rather than a figure off a chart, and a date chosen around what the route looks like that week rather than around the calendar.
From there it is a USDA certified pet transport service doing the ground leg. Climate-controlled vehicle, regular stops for water and a check, and a carrier with enough room to turn round and stretch out. Your bunny is never flown and never goes as cargo.
At the far end the transporter hands your bunny to you in person at your door, and you hear from us while the run is happening rather than only when it is finished.
New Hampshire: the timings
Two days is the floor for anywhere, and New Hampshire sits at 4 days because it is 2,850 to 3,100 miles of road from Bakersfield. That figure already includes the stops and the overnight breaks; it is not a straight-line estimate. Genuinely severe winters and a genuinely long road. Rabbits handle the cold better than the stopped traffic.
Driving out instead? It is about 49 to 53 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 New Hampshire
New Hampshire is 2,850 to 3,100 miles from us, 4 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.
New Hampshire weather, and this breed
Genuinely severe winters and a genuinely long road. Rabbits handle the cold better than the stopped traffic.
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.

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 New Hampshire at six months.
