Getting a Holland Lop to New Jersey

Six days.

Good access to exotics vets across the state and into Philadelphia and New York.

What the New Jersey climate means for a Holland Lop

Humid summers, moderate winters. Manageable for a rabbit kept indoors.

What New Jersey owners should know

New Jersey gets humid summers and moderate winters, and neither is severe enough to be the main event. What makes this a good state for a rabbit owner is access: you are within reach of exotics veterinary care in Philadelphia, New York, and across New Jersey itself, and that density of options is genuinely rare. Rutgers has veterinary resources. The shore is more humid than the interior. If you are in an older house without central air, July is worth thinking about seriously before you buy.

Common questions

Is New Jersey good for rabbit veterinary access?

Unusually good. You are within reach of exotics care in Philadelphia, New York and across New Jersey itself, and that density of options is genuinely rare.

Do I need air conditioning for a rabbit in New Jersey?

In an older house without central air, July is worth thinking about seriously. Summers are humid, and humid heat is harder on a rabbit than the temperature suggests.

Before you buy

Two things are worth reading first, and both are the sort of thing a seller would rather you did not think about until after the sale.

• How long they actually live. Seven to fourteen years.
• What the first year actually costs. The rabbit is about a quarter of it.

We do not take money for a litter that does not exist yet, and there is no waiting list. If nothing here suits you today, check back rather than pay to hold a place. More on how we work.
