There is no good reason a family in North Carolina should settle for whatever happens to be nearby. We are Arlen Rabbitry, raising French Lop Rabbits indoors in Bakersfield, California, and sending them across the country by USDA certified ground pet transport. Climate controlled, by road, never flown. Or come and fetch yours yourself, which a fair few people do. $350 for bucks and does alike.
How delivery to North Carolina works
- Tell us which bunny and whereabouts you are. The one you have your eye on, and your nearest town in North Carolina.
- 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 will I be waiting?
From two days. The North Carolina run is 2,300 to 2,600 miles and takes 3 to 4 days, counting the water stops and the overnight breaks that any decent transporter builds in. The coastal plain gets humid in July and August; the Piedmont and mountains are moderate. We schedule around the eastern half in summer.
And if the drive appeals more than the wait, Bakersfield is about 40 to 45 hours from North Carolina, which most people split as two to three days each way with overnight stops. Come and collect, meet the litter, take your time choosing. It costs nothing but the fuel.
Getting a French Lop to North Carolina
North Carolina is 2,300 to 2,600 miles from us, 3 to 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.
North Carolina weather, and this breed
The coastal plain gets humid in July and August; the Piedmont and mountains are moderate. We schedule around the eastern half in summer.
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.
Keeping a French Lop in the South
The pairing we are most cautious about of all thirty-two. A 10lb rabbit sheds heat slowly and Southern humidity removes the cooling mechanism. A French Lop in Louisiana, Mississippi or Florida is viable only in a properly cooled house, and we would rather talk you out of it than sell you one that struggles.
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.

Why Bakersfield rather than a breeder in North Carolina
You may well find one closer, and if they raise the rabbits indoors and will show you the parents then distance is a poor reason to rule them out.
What you get here is a small rabbitry where every rabbit is handled daily, one price whatever the colour, and a journey arranged with a USDA certified pet transporter.
