Delivered to Delaware
Mini Lops, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and driven to Delaware by us. $200 for bucks and does alike.
We are in Bakersfield, California, not in Delaware, and we would rather say so than build a page pretending we are down the road from you. What we do is drive to you: 4 days to Wilmington, Dover, Newark or anywhere smaller, arranged by us rather than handed to a courier. $200 for bucks and does alike.
Delaware is 2,550 to 2,850 miles from us, 4 days on the road. We drive it ourselves in a climate-controlled vehicle with regular stops. No depot, no holding facility, no handover between carriers, and never flown or 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.
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.
