Mini Lops, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Delaware by USDA certified ground pet transport. $200 for bucks and does alike.
You want a Mini Lop Rabbit. You live in Delaware. We are in Bakersfield, California. None of that is a problem, and here is why. A USDA certified pet transport service brings your bunny to your door by road, climate controlled the whole way, and plenty of Delaware families have taken that route. Plenty of others have driven out and collected in person instead. $200 for bucks and does alike.
Before. You pick your bunny and tell us your nearest town. We quote the transport for that address and give you a date, planned around the weather on the route. Nothing is paid before you know the number.
During. A USDA certified pet transport service takes it from here. Road the whole way in a climate-controlled vehicle, stopping regularly for water and a check. No flight, no cargo hold, no airline.
After. Your bunny is handed to you in person at your address, with the paperwork and everything they are going home with. You will have heard from us along the way.
From two days. Delaware is 2,550 to 2,850 miles from us, which works out at 4 days by road once the stops and overnight breaks are counted. A small state at the far end of a long run. Summer humidity is the only real consideration.
If you would rather drive it yourself, Bakersfield is about 44 to 49 hours from Delaware behind the wheel, two to three days each way with overnight stops. A good number of families do exactly that: you meet the parents, you choose in person rather than from a photograph, and your bunny comes home on somebody's lap. Collection is free and we work around whatever time you can get here.
Delaware is 2,550 to 2,850 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.
A small state at the far end of a long run. Summer humidity is the only real consideration.
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.
Raised indoors and handled daily. If one of these has gone by the time you write, ask and we will tell you honestly what is coming rather than take a deposit against a maybe.

Comfortable through most of the Mid-Atlantic year, with August around the Chesapeake the period that needs managing. A Mini Lop needs more enclosure than a Holland, which is worth knowing in a region where a lot of buyers are in apartments. Measure the space before the rabbit arrives, not after.
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.
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
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 Mini Lop with a good local vet does better than any rabbit without one.
Tell us whereabouts in Delaware you are and whether you want a buck or a doe, and we will give you the price, the transit time and an honest view of when it could travel.
