Mini Lops, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown, noticeably heavier than a Holland Lop, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Wisconsin by USDA certified ground pet transport. $200 for bucks and does alike.
There is no good reason a family in Wisconsin should settle for whatever happens to be nearby. We are Arlen Rabbitry, raising Mini Lop Rabbits indoors in Bakersfield, California, and sending them across the country by USDA certified ground pet transport. Climate controlled, by road, never flown. Or come and fetch yours yourself, which a fair few people do. $200 for bucks and does alike.
Who actually does the driving? A USDA certified pet transport service. They carry live animals for a living, in a climate-controlled vehicle, and they stop regularly for water and a check.
Is my bunny ever flown? No. Road the whole way, every time. Nothing of ours goes in a cargo hold.
What does it cost? Quoted for your address rather than off a chart, and you are told before you commit.
How is the date set? Around the weather on the route. We would rather move a run than send a rabbit into heat or snow.
Can I just come and get it? Yes, and you are very welcome to.
From two days. The Wisconsin run is 1,900 to 2,100 miles and takes 2 to 3 days, counting the water stops and the overnight breaks that any decent transporter builds in. Cold is not the problem for a rabbit, snow on the route is. Winter deliveries occasionally shift by a day.
And if the drive appeals more than the wait, Bakersfield is about 33 to 36 hours from Wisconsin, 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.
Wisconsin is 1,900 to 2,100 miles from us, 2 to 3 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.
Cold is not the problem for a rabbit, snow on the route is. Winter deliveries occasionally shift by a day.
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.

Well suited to the Midwest and one of the easier breeds to keep through a Chicago or Minneapolis winter. The recurring problem we hear about from this region is weight rather than weather: a Mini Lop that spends five indoor months on unlimited pellets becomes an overweight rabbit that cannot groom its own back end, which causes real trouble.
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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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.
