Mini Lops, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and driven to Idaho by us. Bucks $250, does $280.
We are in Bakersfield, California, not in Idaho, 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: 1 to 2 days to Boise, Meridian, Nampa or anywhere smaller, arranged by us rather than handed to a courier. Bucks $250, does $280.
Idaho is 750 to 950 miles from us, 1 to 2 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.
An easy summer run up through Nevada. Winter over the higher ground occasionally adds a day.
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.
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.
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
The two things that catch Idaho owners out are the water supply in the cold months and the cooling in the hot ones, and both are cheap to solve before they matter rather than during.
Everything else is the same as it would be anywhere: unlimited timothy hay, a pellet ration measured rather than topped up, and fresh greens introduced slowly. What we feed and why.
