Questions we get about getting a bunny to South Carolina
Who actually does the driving? A USDA certified pet transport service. They carry live animals for a living, in a climate-controlled vehicle, and they stop regularly for water and a check.
Is my bunny ever flown? No. Road the whole way, every time. Nothing of ours goes in a cargo hold.
What does it cost? Quoted for your address rather than off a chart, and you are told before you commit.
How is the date set? Around the weather on the route. We would rather move a run than send a rabbit into heat or snow.
Can I just come and get it? Yes, and you are very welcome to.
How long will I be waiting?
From two days. The South Carolina run is 2,250 to 2,550 miles and takes 3 to 4 days, counting the water stops and the overnight breaks that any decent transporter builds in. Lowcountry humidity is the constraint and the upstate is noticeably easier. Summer deliveries travel overnight.
And if the drive appeals more than the wait, Bakersfield is about 39 to 44 hours from South 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 South Carolina
South Carolina is 2,250 to 2,550 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.
South Carolina weather, and this breed
Lowcountry humidity is the constraint and the upstate is noticeably easier. Summer deliveries travel 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.

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 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.

Keeping a French Lop in South Carolina, month to month
The two things that catch South Carolina owners out are the water supply in the cold months and the cooling in the hot ones, and both are cheap to solve before they matter rather than during.
Everything else is the same as it would be anywhere: unlimited timothy hay, a pellet ration measured rather than topped up, and fresh greens introduced slowly. What we feed and why.
