Getting a Holland Lop to Rhode Island

Six days.

Small state, and good access to Boston veterinary care an hour away.

What the Rhode Island climate means for a Holland Lop

Coastal, moderate. Cold winters, mild summers. One of the more comfortable states for a rabbit.

What Rhode Island owners should know

Rhode Island is coastal, moderate, and small enough that veterinary access is rarely a problem: Providence has options and Boston is an hour away for anything complicated. Summers are mild and winters are cold without being severe, which makes this one of the more comfortable states in the country for a rabbit. The humidity near the water is the only real consideration, and it is a modest one. If you are in an older house without central air, a window unit in the rabbit room handles the two or three genuinely hot weeks a year.

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.
