French Lop Rabbits for Sale in North Dakota
French Lops, 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and driven to North Dakota by us. $350 for bucks and does alike.
We are in Bakersfield, California, not in North Dakota, and we would rather say so than build a page pretending we are down the road from you. What we do is drive to you: 3 days to Fargo, Bismarck, Grand Forks or anywhere smaller, arranged by us rather than handed to a courier. $350 for bucks and does alike.
Getting a French Lop to North Dakota
North Dakota is 1,700 to 2,000 miles from us, 3 days on the road. We drive it ourselves in a climate-controlled vehicle with regular stops. No depot, no holding facility, no handover between carriers, and never flown or 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 Dakota weather, and this breed
Our coldest destination. A rabbit travels warm and copes well, but we do not run through a blizzard.
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 North Dakota now
Raised indoors and handled daily. If this one has gone, ask and we will tell you honestly what is coming rather than take a deposit against a maybe.
Keeping a French Lop in the Great Plains
Weight is an advantage against plains wind chill and a liability in a plains August. A French Lop is the breed most at risk in a summer power cut, because there is a great deal of animal to keep cool and very little margin. If you are on a rural plains property, a generator plan is a reasonable thing to have.
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.

Finding a rabbit vet in North Dakota
Do this before the rabbit arrives, not during an emergency. Rabbits are exotics to most practices, and a vet who sees them regularly is a different proposition from one who will. Ring round and ask directly how many rabbits they see in a month.
It matters more than the breed you pick. A French Lop with a good local vet does better than any rabbit without one.
