Mini Lops, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and driven to Washington by us. $200 for bucks and does alike.
We are in Bakersfield, California, not in Washington, 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 days to Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma or anywhere smaller, arranged by us rather than handed to a courier. $200 for bucks and does alike.
Washington is 1,000 to 1,300 miles from us, 2 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.
Up the I-5 the whole way and one of our more comfortable runs for a rabbit. Mountain passes in deep winter are the only real variable.
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.
Close to ideal for this breed. Mild coastal temperatures suit a heavier rabbit that struggles more at the extremes than a small one does, and the Mini Lop is comfortable year round through most of California, Oregon and Washington without much intervention at all.
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.
Every rabbit we raise lives indoors and we would ask that yours does too. A hutch at the bottom of a Washington garden is a shorter, lonelier life, and this is a companion animal that does badly kept at a distance.
Floor space beats cage height every time. 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, so size the pen off that rather than off what a pet shop sells.
Tell us whereabouts in Washington 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.
