Nothing should stop a family in Texas who has their heart set on a French Lop Rabbit. We are Arlen Rabbitry, we are in Bakersfield, California, and we can get your bunny joy from here to anywhere in Texas. How do we manage that from the other side of the country? A USDA certified pet transport service does the ground run, in a climate-controlled vehicle, by road the whole way. You are also very welcome to come and collect. $350 for bucks and does alike.
How delivery to Texas works
- Tell us which bunny and whereabouts you are. The one you have your eye on, and your nearest town in Texas.
- 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.
Getting to Texas: how long, and the drive if you prefer
By transport, from two days. Texas is 1,400 to 1,700 miles out, 2 to 3 days on the road with the stops counted in. Texas heat and humidity are the real constraint. From May to September we run overnight and keep the vehicle cool the whole way, and we will delay a delivery rather than move a rabbit through a heat advisory.
By your own car, about 24 to 29 hours. That is two to three days each way with overnight stops, and families do it every year. The advantage is simple: you see the litter, you pick the one that comes to you rather than the one that photographed best, and nobody else carries your bunny home. Collection from us is free.
Getting a French Lop to Texas
Texas is 1,400 to 1,700 miles from us, 2 to 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.
Texas weather, and this breed
Texas heat and humidity are the real constraint. From May to September we run overnight and keep the vehicle cool the whole way, and we will delay a delivery rather than move a rabbit through a heat advisory.
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 Texas 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 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.
The other three breeds, also delivered to Texas
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Texas, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Mini Lops for sale in Texas, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- Netherland Dwarfs for sale in Texas, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown
Why Bakersfield rather than a breeder in Texas
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.
