Delivered to Mississippi
Mini Lops, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Mississippi by USDA certified ground pet transport. $200 for bucks and does alike.
Two ways this works if you are in Mississippi. We bring your bunny to you, or you come and fetch them. We are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California. The first is a coordinated ground run with a USDA certified pet transport service, climate controlled and by road the whole way. The second is a drive out, a proper look at the litter, and your bunny home on somebody's lap.
Both are straightforward and we will talk you through either. $200 for bucks and does alike.
From two days. Mississippi is 1,800 to 2,100 miles from us, which works out at 3 days by road once the stops and overnight breaks are counted. Heat and humidity are the constraint from May through September, and we will move a date rather than travel through an advisory.
If you would rather drive it yourself, Bakersfield is about 31 to 36 hours from Mississippi 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.
Mississippi is 1,800 to 2,100 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.
Heat and humidity are the constraint from May through September, and we will move a date rather than travel through an advisory.
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.

Of our four breeds this is the one we are most careful about sending into the Deep South. A denser body sheds heat slowly and Southern humidity removes the mechanism it would use. It is entirely doable with air conditioning and it is not doable without. We will say that plainly before you commit rather than 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 Mississippi 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.
