Questions we get about getting a bunny to North Dakota
Who actually does the driving? A USDA certified pet transport service. They carry live animals for a living, in a climate-controlled vehicle, and they stop regularly for water and a check.
Is my bunny ever flown? No. Road the whole way, every time. Nothing of ours goes in a cargo hold.
What does it cost? Quoted for your address rather than off a chart, and you are told before you commit.
How is the date set? Around the weather on the route. We would rather move a run than send a rabbit into heat or snow.
Can I just come and get it? Yes, and you are very welcome to.
How long will I be waiting?
From two days. The North Dakota run is 1,700 to 2,000 miles and takes 3 days, counting the water stops and the overnight breaks that any decent transporter builds in. Our coldest destination. A rabbit travels warm and copes well, but we do not run through a blizzard.
And if the drive appeals more than the wait, Bakersfield is about 29 to 34 hours from North Dakota, which most people split as two to three days each way with overnight stops. Come and collect, meet the litter, take your time choosing. It costs nothing but the fuel.
Getting a Mini Lop to North Dakota
North Dakota is 1,700 to 2,000 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.
North Dakota weather, and this breed
Our coldest destination. A rabbit travels warm and copes well, but we do not run through a blizzard.
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.

Keeping a Mini Lop in the Great Plains
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.

Buck or doe, for a North Dakota household
A more consequential decision than colour and one most buyers leave to chance. Bucks tend to be steadier and more affectionate once neutered; does are often more independent and can be territorial about their space before spaying.
The full comparison, and tell us which way your household leans and we will point you at the right rabbit rather than the next one available.
