Mini Lops, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and driven to Oklahoma by us. $200 for bucks and does alike.
We are in Bakersfield, California, not in Oklahoma, 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 Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman or anywhere smaller, arranged by us rather than handed to a courier. $200 for bucks and does alike.
Oklahoma is 1,300 to 1,550 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.
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.
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.
