Mini Lop Rabbits for Sale in Colorado
Mini Lops, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Colorado by USDA certified ground pet transport. $200 for bucks and does alike.
Arlen Rabbitry sends bunnies to Colorado the year round. We are in Bakersfield, California, we raise Mini Lop Rabbits indoors, and the ground leg to Colorado is handled by a USDA certified pet transport service: climate-controlled vehicle, road the whole way, never a cargo hold. Prefer to collect? Come to Bakersfield and pick yours in person. $200 for bucks and does alike.
How delivery to Colorado works
- Tell us which bunny and whereabouts you are. The one you have your eye on, and your nearest town in Colorado.
- We price the run for your address. Quoted for where you actually live, and you get the figure before you commit to anything.
- We agree a date around the weather. Set by what the route looks like rather than by the calendar.
- Your bunny travels by road, climate controlled. Regular stops for water and a check, in a carrier with room to turn round. Never flown, never cargo.
- It is handed to you in person. Straight from the transporter's hands to yours, at your address.
- You hear from us on the way. Updates while it is happening, not a message once it is done.
How long will I be waiting?
From two days. The Colorado run is 1,000 to 1,200 miles and takes 2 days, counting the water stops and the overnight breaks that any decent transporter builds in. Colorado winters are cold but dry, which rabbits handle well. What we watch is the mountain passes: a heavy snow forecast on I-70 moves the delivery rather than risking a rabbit sitting in a stopped vehicle.
And if the drive appeals more than the wait, Bakersfield is about 17 to 21 hours from Colorado, 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 Mini Lop to Colorado
Colorado is 1,000 to 1,200 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. At 4.5 to 6.5 lb a Mini Lop needs a larger carrier than a Holland and more airflow around it. Not a difficulty, just a bigger box and one more stop on a long run.
Colorado weather, and this breed
Colorado winters are cold but dry, which rabbits handle well. What we watch is the mountain passes: a heavy snow forecast on I-70 moves the delivery rather than risking a rabbit sitting in a stopped vehicle.
The denser body holds heat longer than a Holland Lop does, so a Mini Lop is the one we are most careful with on a summer run. Overnight travel from May onward, without exception.

Keeping a Mini Lop in the Mountain West
The Mini Lop's extra weight is an advantage in a Mountain West winter and a disadvantage in the summer swing. It carries condition well and stays warm easily. What it does not do is shed heat quickly when a mountain afternoon turns hot, so shade and airflow matter more than heating ever will.
Size. 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop. Care. The heavier body means nails wear less and need cutting more often, roughly monthly. Watch the weight: a Mini Lop will happily eat past what it needs, and an overweight rabbit cannot groom its own back end properly, which causes real problems.
What it gets mistaken for. Frequently sold as a Holland Lop by people who do not know the difference, and the two are not interchangeable: a Mini Lop is roughly twice the weight. Ask for the adult weight of both parents. Everything about the Mini Lop.
The other three breeds, also delivered to Colorado
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Colorado, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Netherland Dwarfs for sale in Colorado, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown
- French Lops for sale in Colorado, 10 lb and up full grown
Why Bakersfield rather than a breeder in Colorado
You may well find one closer, and if they raise the rabbits indoors and will show you the parents then distance is a poor reason to rule them out.
What you get here is a small rabbitry where every rabbit is handled daily, one price whatever the colour, and a journey arranged with a USDA certified pet transporter.
