If you have been searching for Mini Lop Rabbits in West Virginia and keep coming up empty, start here. We are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California, and distance is the part we have solved: a USDA certified pet transport service runs your bunny to you by road in a climate-controlled vehicle. If you would rather do the driving, come and collect and meet the whole litter while you are at it. $200 for bucks and does alike.
By transport, from two days. West Virginia is 2,200 to 2,500 miles out, 3 to 4 days on the road with the stops counted in. Mountain roads in winter are the variable here. Cold itself is not a problem for a rabbit.
By your own car, about 38 to 43 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.
West Virginia is 2,200 to 2,500 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.
Mountain roads in winter are the variable here. Cold itself is not a problem for a rabbit.
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.
You may well find one closer, and if they raise the rabbits indoors and will show you the parents then distance is a poor reason to rule them out.
What you get here is a small rabbitry where every rabbit is handled daily, one price whatever the colour, and a journey arranged with a USDA certified pet transporter.
Tell us whereabouts in West 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.
