French Lop Rabbits for Sale in Ohio
French Lops, 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Ohio by USDA certified ground pet transport. $350 for bucks and does alike.
Every week somebody in Ohio 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 Ohio?
You tell us which one you want and roughly where in Ohio 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.
Ohio: the timings
Two days is the floor for anywhere, and Ohio sits at 3 days because it is 2,100 to 2,300 miles of road from Bakersfield. That figure already includes the stops and the overnight breaks; it is not a straight-line estimate. Ohio winters bring lake-effect snow across the north of the state. We monitor the forecast for winter runs and reschedule rather than travel through it.
Driving out instead? It is about 36 to 40 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 Ohio
Ohio is 2,100 to 2,300 miles from us, 3 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.
Ohio weather, and this breed
Ohio winters bring lake-effect snow across the north of the state. We monitor the forecast for winter runs and reschedule rather than travel 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.
French Lops ready for Ohio 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 Midwest
Well suited to the Midwest winter and one of the easier large breeds to keep through it. The Midwest-specific issue for a French Lop is space: a long indoor season means the enclosure is the rabbit's entire world for months, and for a 10lb animal that has to be genuinely large. Most people underestimate this by half.
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.

What a French Lop actually costs in the first year
The rabbit is the cheapest part. Housing, a spay or neuter, hay by the bale, pellets and an annual vet visit run well past the purchase price, and Ohio buyers should add the delivery on top of that.
