French Lop Rabbits for Sale in West Virginia
French Lops, 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to West Virginia by USDA certified ground pet transport. $350 for bucks and does alike.
There is no good reason a family in West Virginia should settle for whatever happens to be nearby. We are Arlen Rabbitry, raising French Lop Rabbits indoors in Bakersfield, California, and sending them across the country by USDA certified ground pet transport. Climate controlled, by road, never flown. Or come and fetch yours yourself, which a fair few people do. $350 for bucks and does alike.
So how does a bunny actually get to West Virginia?
You tell us which one you want and roughly where in West Virginia 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.
How long will I be waiting?
From two days. The West Virginia run is 2,200 to 2,500 miles and takes 3 to 4 days, counting the water stops and the overnight breaks that any decent transporter builds in. Mountain roads in winter are the variable here. Cold itself is not a problem for a rabbit.
And if the drive appeals more than the wait, Bakersfield is about 38 to 43 hours from West Virginia, 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 West Virginia
West Virginia is 2,200 to 2,500 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.
West Virginia weather, and this breed
Mountain roads in winter are the variable here. Cold itself is not a problem for a rabbit.
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 Mid-Atlantic
Manageable through the Mid-Atlantic year with August needing attention. The regional constraint is housing stock: a great deal of this region is apartments and rowhouses, and a French Lop is genuinely not an apartment rabbit. If you are in one, we will suggest a Holland or a Dwarf instead and mean it.
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 West Virginia
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in West Virginia, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Mini Lops for sale in West Virginia, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- Netherland Dwarfs for sale in West Virginia, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown
Housing a French Lop indoors
Every rabbit we raise lives indoors and we would ask that yours does too. A hutch at the bottom of a West Virginia garden is a shorter, lonelier life, and this is a companion animal that does badly kept at a distance.
Floor space beats cage height every time. 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit, so size the pen off that rather than off what a pet shop sells.
