Mini Lop Rabbits for Sale in Michigan
Mini Lops, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Michigan by USDA certified ground pet transport. $200 for bucks and does alike.
Nothing should stop a family in Michigan who has their heart set on a Mini Lop Rabbit. We are Arlen Rabbitry, we are in Bakersfield, California, and we can get your bunny joy from here to anywhere in Michigan. How do we manage that from the other side of the country? A USDA certified pet transport service does the ground run, in a climate-controlled vehicle, by road the whole way. You are also very welcome to come and collect. $200 for bucks and does alike.
So how does a bunny actually get to Michigan?
You tell us which one you want and roughly where in Michigan you are. We come back with a price for your actual address rather than a figure off a chart, and a date chosen around what the route looks like that week rather than around the calendar.
From there it is a USDA certified pet transport service doing the ground leg. Climate-controlled vehicle, regular stops for water and a check, and a carrier with enough room to turn round and stretch out. Your bunny is never flown and never goes as cargo.
At the far end the transporter hands your bunny to you in person at your door, and you hear from us while the run is happening rather than only when it is finished.
Getting to Michigan: how long, and the drive if you prefer
By transport, from two days. Michigan is 2,200 to 2,400 miles out, 3 days on the road with the stops counted in. Michigan winters are long and snowy, more so in the Upper Peninsula. We watch the weather closely for winter deliveries and will move travel if heavy snow or extreme cold is forecast along the route.
By your own car, about 38 to 41 hours. That is two to three days each way with overnight stops, and families do it every year. The advantage is simple: you see the litter, you pick the one that comes to you rather than the one that photographed best, and nobody else carries your bunny home. Collection from us is free.
Getting a Mini Lop to Michigan
Michigan is 2,200 to 2,400 miles from us, 3 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.
Michigan weather, and this breed
Michigan winters are long and snowy, more so in the Upper Peninsula. We watch the weather closely for winter deliveries and will move travel if heavy snow or extreme cold is forecast along the route.
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.

Keeping a Mini Lop in the Midwest
Well suited to the Midwest and one of the easier breeds to keep through a Chicago or Minneapolis winter. The recurring problem we hear about from this region is weight rather than weather: a Mini Lop that spends five indoor months on unlimited pellets becomes an overweight rabbit that cannot groom its own back end, which causes real trouble.
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 Michigan
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Michigan, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Netherland Dwarfs for sale in Michigan, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown
- French Lops for sale in Michigan, 10 lb and up full grown
Is a Mini Lop right for your household?
Worth settling before the distance and the delivery. The steadiest of the four in our experience, and the one we suggest to somebody who wants a rabbit that will sit still and be handled. The extra weight makes them feel solid rather than delicate.
If that does not describe your household, say so and we will tell you which of the four would suit better. Sometimes the answer is none of them, and that is a better outcome than a rabbit in the wrong home in Michigan.
