Wondering whether a Mini Lop Rabbit can actually reach you in Oklahoma? It can, and it travels a great deal better than most people expect. We are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California. Ground transport is arranged with a USDA certified pet transport service, your bunny goes by road in a climate-controlled vehicle, and you are welcome to collect from us instead if you prefer. $200 for bucks and does alike.
You tell us which one you want and roughly where in Oklahoma 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.
By transport, from two days. Oklahoma is 1,300 to 1,550 miles out, 2 to 3 days on the road with the stops counted in. Spring storm season is the variable, and summer heat means the last leg runs at night.
By your own car, about 22 to 27 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.
Oklahoma is 1,300 to 1,550 miles from us, 2 to 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.
Spring storm season is the variable, and summer heat means the last leg runs at night.
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.

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.
The two things that catch Oklahoma owners out are the water supply in the cold months and the cooling in the hot ones, and both are cheap to solve before they matter rather than during.
Everything else is the same as it would be anywhere: unlimited timothy hay, a pellet ration measured rather than topped up, and fresh greens introduced slowly. What we feed and why.
Tell us whereabouts in Oklahoma 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.
