Delivered to Nebraska
Mini Lops, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and driven to Nebraska by us. $200 for bucks and does alike.
We are in Bakersfield, California, not in Nebraska, 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: 2 to 3 days to Omaha, Lincoln, Bellevue or anywhere smaller, arranged by us rather than handed to a courier. $200 for bucks and does alike.
Nebraska is 1,400 to 1,700 miles from us, 2 to 3 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.
Plains weather decides the date far more than the mileage does, in either direction.
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.
A solid, heavy rabbit suits plains weather better than a light one: it is less bothered by wind chill and it holds condition through a cold snap. The caution is the reverse of the Holland's. Where a small rabbit chills, a Mini Lop overheats, so a summer power cut in Kansas is the scenario to have a plan for.
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.
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.
Tell us whereabouts in Nebraska 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.
