Mini Lops, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Virginia by USDA certified ground pet transport. $200 for bucks and does alike.
Arlen Rabbitry sends bunnies to Virginia the year round. We are in Bakersfield, California, we raise Mini Lop Rabbits indoors, and the ground leg to Virginia is handled by a USDA certified pet transport service: climate-controlled vehicle, road the whole way, never a cargo hold. Prefer to collect? Come to Bakersfield and pick yours in person. $200 for bucks and does alike.
From two days. The Virginia run is 2,450 to 2,750 miles and takes 4 days, counting the water stops and the overnight breaks that any decent transporter builds in. Humid in August around the Bay, mild the rest of the year. One of our longest runs, so the date is agreed well in advance.
And if the drive appeals more than the wait, Bakersfield is about 42 to 47 hours from Virginia, 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.
Virginia is 2,450 to 2,750 miles from us, 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.
Humid in August around the Bay, mild the rest of the year. One of our longest runs, so the date is agreed well in advance.
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.

Comfortable through most of the Mid-Atlantic year, with August around the Chesapeake the period that needs managing. A Mini Lop needs more enclosure than a Holland, which is worth knowing in a region where a lot of buyers are in apartments. Measure the space before the rabbit arrives, not 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.
Worth settling before the distance and the delivery. The steadiest of the four in our experience, and the one we suggest to somebody who wants a rabbit that will sit still and be handled. The extra weight makes them feel solid rather than delicate.
If that does not describe your household, say so and we will tell you which of the four would suit better. Sometimes the answer is none of them, and that is a better outcome than a rabbit in the wrong home in Virginia.
Tell us whereabouts in Virginia 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.
