If you have been searching for French Lop Rabbits in New Mexico and keep coming up empty, start here. We are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California, and distance is the part we have solved: a USDA certified pet transport service runs your bunny to you by road in a climate-controlled vehicle. If you would rather do the driving, come and collect and meet the whole litter while you are at it. $350 for bucks and does alike.
What happens between here and New Mexico
It starts with a message: which bunny, and where in New Mexico. 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.
Getting to New Mexico: how long, and the drive if you prefer
By transport, from two days. New Mexico is 800 to 1,000 miles out, 1 to 2 days on the road with the stops counted in. Out along the I-40 and one of our easier long runs. Summer through the low desert stretch goes overnight.
By your own car, about 14 to 17 hours. That is two days each way with an overnight stop, and families do it every year. The advantage is simple: you see the litter, you pick the one that comes to you rather than the one that photographed best, and nobody else carries your bunny home. Collection from us is free.
Getting a French Lop to New Mexico
New Mexico is 800 to 1,000 miles from us, 1 to 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.
New Mexico weather, and this breed
Out along the I-40 and one of our easier long runs. Summer through the low desert stretch goes overnight.
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 New Mexico 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 desert Southwest
A 10lb rabbit in the desert Southwest needs serious cooling and we will not pretend otherwise. A large body sheds heat slowly, and while dry air helps, a French Lop in an Arizona or southern Nevada summer is an air-conditioned animal from May to September. Given that, it does very well here: winters are a non-event.
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 New Mexico
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in New Mexico, about 2 to 4 lb full grown

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 Mexico at six months.
