A Mini Lop Rabbit from our house to your door in South Carolina. That is the short version. The longer one: we are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California, the ground run is done by a USDA certified pet transport service in a climate-controlled vehicle, and nothing we send is ever flown or shipped as cargo. Collection from Bakersfield is welcome any day you can get here. $200 for bucks and does alike.
It starts with a message: which bunny, and where in South Carolina. We price that run for your address and come back with a date, and the date is chosen by the weather on the route rather than by what is convenient.
Then a USDA certified pet transport service takes over the ground leg. They do this for a living, in a climate-controlled vehicle, with regular stops for water and a look at the animal. There is no flight involved at any point and your bunny never travels as cargo.
They hand your bunny to you at your door, in person, and you will have heard from us while it was on the road rather than only at the end.
Two days is the floor for anywhere, and South Carolina sits at 3 to 4 days because it is 2,250 to 2,550 miles of road from Bakersfield. That figure already includes the stops and the overnight breaks; it is not a straight-line estimate. Lowcountry humidity is the constraint and the upstate is noticeably easier. Summer deliveries travel overnight.
Driving out instead? It is about 39 to 44 hours at the wheel, two to three days each way with overnight stops. Worth it for a lot of people, because you get to handle the whole litter before you decide and your bunny travels home with you rather than with anybody else. There is no charge for collecting.
South Carolina is 2,250 to 2,550 miles from us, 3 to 4 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.
Lowcountry humidity is the constraint and the upstate is noticeably easier. Summer deliveries travel overnight.
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.

Of our four breeds this is the one we are most careful about sending into the Deep South. A denser body sheds heat slowly and Southern humidity removes the mechanism it would use. It is entirely doable with air conditioning and it is not doable without. We will say that plainly before you commit rather than after.
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.
A care sheet written for this breed rather than for rabbits in general, enough of the food it is already on to change over across a week, and its date of birth and parentage in writing. The full list.
Have a vet in mind before it travels to South Carolina. Rabbits need a vet who actually sees rabbits, and that is worth checking in advance rather than in an emergency.
Tell us whereabouts in South Carolina 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.
