French Lop Rabbits for Sale in New York

A French Lop Rabbit from our house to your door in New York. That is the short version. The longer one: we are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California, the ground run is done by a USDA certified pet transport service in a climate-controlled vehicle, and nothing we send is ever flown or shipped as cargo. Collection from Bakersfield is welcome any day you can get here. $350 for bucks and does alike.
What happens between here and New York
It starts with a message: which bunny, and where in New York. 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.
New York: the timings
Two days is the floor for anywhere, and New York sits at 4 days because it is 2,700 to 2,900 miles of road from Bakersfield. That figure already includes the stops and the overnight breaks; it is not a straight-line estimate. New York is the longest run we do, four days door to door, and upstate winters bring lake-effect snow off Erie and Ontario. We plan winter deliveries around the forecast rather than through it.
Driving out instead? It is about 47 to 50 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 York
New York is 2,700 to 2,900 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 York weather, and this breed
New York is the longest run we do, four days door to door, and upstate winters bring lake-effect snow off Erie and Ontario. We plan winter deliveries around the forecast rather than through it.
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 the Mid-Atlantic
Manageable through the Mid-Atlantic year with August needing attention. The regional constraint is housing stock: a great deal of this region is apartments and rowhouses, and a French Lop is genuinely not an apartment rabbit. If you are in one, we will suggest a Holland or a Dwarf instead and mean it.
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.

Buck or doe, for a New York household
A more consequential decision than colour and one most buyers leave to chance. Bucks tend to be steadier and more affectionate once neutered; does are often more independent and can be territorial about their space before spaying.
The full comparison, and tell us which way your household leans and we will point you at the right rabbit rather than the next one available.
