Mini Lop Rabbits for Sale in Connecticut
Mini Lops, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Connecticut by USDA certified ground pet transport. $200 for bucks and does alike.
Connecticut is a long way from Bakersfield, and it has never once been the reason a family went without. We are Arlen Rabbitry. We raise Mini Lop Rabbits indoors in California and send them to Connecticut by USDA certified ground pet transport, climate controlled, never flown and never as cargo. If you would rather make the trip and pick your own, our door is open. $200 for bucks and does alike.
What happens between here and Connecticut
It starts with a message: which bunny, and where in Connecticut. We price that run for your address and come back with a date, and the date is chosen by the weather on the route rather than by what is convenient.
Then a USDA certified pet transport service takes over the ground leg. They do this for a living, in a climate-controlled vehicle, with regular stops for water and a look at the animal. There is no flight involved at any point and your bunny never travels as cargo.
They hand your bunny to you at your door, in person, and you will have heard from us while it was on the road rather than only at the end.
How long will I be waiting?
From two days. The Connecticut run is 2,750 to 3,000 miles and takes 4 days, counting the water stops and the overnight breaks that any decent transporter builds in. Near the furthest point we drive to. A winter nor easter moves a delivery by a day without argument.
And if the drive appeals more than the wait, Bakersfield is about 47 to 52 hours from Connecticut, 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 Connecticut
Connecticut is 2,750 to 3,000 miles from us, 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. 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.
Connecticut weather, and this breed
Near the furthest point we deliver to. A winter nor easter moves a delivery by a day without argument.
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 New England
A heavier rabbit with a good coat is well suited to a New England winter, and the Mini Lop is the one of our four we worry about least in a Vermont February. Watch the water rather than the temperature: an unheated mudroom will freeze a bottle overnight, and a rabbit this size drinks more than people expect.
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 Connecticut
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Connecticut, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Netherland Dwarfs for sale in Connecticut, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown
- French Lops for sale in Connecticut, 10 lb and up full grown
Housing a Mini Lop indoors
Every rabbit we raise lives indoors and we would ask that yours does too. A hutch at the bottom of a Connecticut 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. 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, so size the pen off that rather than off what a pet shop sells.
