Mini Lop Rabbits for Sale in Maine
Mini Lops, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and driven to Maine by us. $200 for bucks and does alike.
We are in Bakersfield, California, not in Maine, 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 to 5 days to Portland, Lewiston, Bangor or anywhere smaller, arranged by us rather than handed to a courier. $200 for bucks and does alike.
Getting a Mini Lop to Maine
Maine is 2,950 to 3,250 miles from us, 4 to 5 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.
Maine weather, and this breed
The furthest point in the lower 48 from Bakersfield. We are honest that this is a long journey and we plan it properly rather than quickly.
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.
Mini Lops ready for Maine now
Raised indoors and handled daily. If this one has gone, ask and we will tell you honestly what is coming rather than take a deposit against a maybe.
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.

Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.

- Netherland Dwarfs for sale in Maine, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown
- French Lops for sale in Maine, 10 lb and up full grown
Why Bakersfield rather than a breeder in Maine
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 we drive ourselves rather than hand to a courier.
