Questions we get about getting a bunny to Wisconsin
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.
Wisconsin: the timings
Two days is the floor for anywhere, and Wisconsin sits at 2 to 3 days because it is 1,900 to 2,100 miles of road from Bakersfield. That figure already includes the stops and the overnight breaks; it is not a straight-line estimate. Cold is not the problem for a rabbit, snow on the route is. Winter deliveries occasionally shift by a day.
Driving out instead? It is about 33 to 36 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 Wisconsin
Wisconsin is 1,900 to 2,100 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.
Wisconsin weather, and this breed
Cold is not the problem for a rabbit, snow on the route is. Winter deliveries occasionally shift by a day.
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.

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.
The other three breeds, also delivered to Wisconsin
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Wisconsin, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Mini Lops for sale in Wisconsin, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- Netherland Dwarfs for sale in Wisconsin, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown
Finding a rabbit vet in Wisconsin
Do this before the rabbit arrives, not during an emergency. Rabbits are exotics to most practices, and a vet who sees them regularly is a different proposition from one who will. Ring round and ask directly how many rabbits they see in a month.
It matters more than the breed you pick. A French Lop with a good local vet does better than any rabbit without one.
