Mini Lops, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and driven to Rhode Island by us. $200 for bucks and does alike.
We are in Bakersfield, California, not in Rhode Island, 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: 4 days to Providence, Warwick, Cranston or anywhere smaller, arranged by us rather than handed to a courier. $200 for bucks and does alike.
Rhode Island is 2,800 to 3,050 miles from us, 4 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.
Small state, long drive. Cold is fine; a storm stopping traffic is what we avoid.
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 heavier rabbit with a good coat is well suited to a New England winter, and the Mini Lop is the one of our four we worry about least in a Vermont February. Watch the water rather than the temperature: an unheated mudroom will freeze a bottle overnight, and a rabbit this size drinks more than people expect.
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 cannot walk in and look, so the questions matter more. Ask for a video call with the rabbit before you send anything. Ask what happens if it does not work out. Ask how many litters we run a year and you will get a number rather than a change of subject.
We would rather answer all three now than have a Mini Lop come back from Rhode Island at six months.
Tell us whereabouts in Rhode Island 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.
