Delivered to Washington
French Lop Rabbits for Sale in Washington
French Lops, 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Washington by USDA certified ground pet transport. $350 for bucks and does alike.
Two ways this works if you are in Washington. We bring your bunny to you, or you come and fetch them. We are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California. The first is a coordinated ground run with a USDA certified pet transport service, climate controlled and by road the whole way. The second is a drive out, a proper look at the litter, and your bunny home on somebody's lap.
Both are straightforward and we will talk you through either. $350 for bucks and does alike.
What happens between here and Washington
It starts with a message: which bunny, and where in Washington. We price that run for your address and come back with a date, and the date is chosen by the weather on the route rather than by what is convenient.
Then a USDA certified pet transport service takes over the ground leg. They do this for a living, in a climate-controlled vehicle, with regular stops for water and a look at the animal. There is no flight involved at any point and your bunny never travels as cargo.
They hand your bunny to you at your door, in person, and you will have heard from us while it was on the road rather than only at the end.
How long it takes to Washington
From two days. Washington is 1,000 to 1,300 miles from us, which works out at 2 days by road once the stops and overnight breaks are counted. Up the I-5 the whole way and one of our more comfortable runs for a rabbit. Mountain passes in deep winter are the only real variable.
If you would rather drive it yourself, Bakersfield is about 17 to 22 hours from Washington behind the wheel, two to three days each way with overnight stops. A good number of families do exactly that: you meet the parents, you choose in person rather than from a photograph, and your bunny comes home on somebody's lap. Collection is free and we work around whatever time you can get here.
Getting a French Lop to Washington
Washington is 1,000 to 1,300 miles from us, 2 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.
Washington weather, and this breed
Up the I-5 the whole way and one of our more comfortable runs for a rabbit. Mountain passes in deep winter are the only real variable.
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 Washington 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 Pacific coast
Probably the best region in the country for a French Lop. Mild year-round coastal temperatures suit a large rabbit that struggles at both extremes, and space is the only real constraint rather than climate. It needs a lot more floor than people expect.
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 Washington
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Washington, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Mini Lops for sale in Washington, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- Netherland Dwarfs for sale in Washington, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown
Buying at a distance, honestly
You cannot walk in and look, so the questions matter more. Ask for a video call with the rabbit before you send anything. Ask what happens if it does not work out. Ask how many litters we run a year and you will get a number rather than a change of subject.
We would rather answer all three now than have a French Lop come back from Washington at six months.
