Nothing should stop a family in Washington who has their heart set on a Mini Lop Rabbit. We are Arlen Rabbitry, we are in Bakersfield, California, and we can get your bunny joy from here to anywhere in Washington. How do we manage that from the other side of the country? A USDA certified pet transport service does the ground run, in a climate-controlled vehicle, by road the whole way. You are also very welcome to come and collect. $200 for bucks and does alike.
It starts with a message: which bunny, and where in Washington. 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.
By transport, from two days. Washington is 1,000 to 1,300 miles out, 2 days on the road with the stops counted in. 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.
By your own car, about 17 to 22 hours. That is two to three days each way with overnight stops, and families do it every year. The advantage is simple: you see the litter, you pick the one that comes to you rather than the one that photographed best, and nobody else carries your bunny home. Collection from us is free.
Washington is 1,000 to 1,300 miles from us, 2 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.
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.
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.

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.
