Netherland Dwarf Rabbits for Sale in Arizona
Netherland Dwarfs, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown, the smallest rabbit we raise, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Arizona by USDA certified ground pet transport. $250 for bucks and does alike.
There is no good reason a family in Arizona should settle for whatever happens to be nearby. We are Arlen Rabbitry, raising Netherland Dwarf 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. $250 for bucks and does alike.
The Arizona run, start to finish
Before. You pick your bunny and tell us your nearest town. We quote the transport for that address and give you a date, planned around the weather on the route. Nothing is paid before you know the number.
During. A USDA certified pet transport service takes it from here. Road the whole way in a climate-controlled vehicle, stopping regularly for water and a check. No flight, no cargo hold, no airline.
After. Your bunny is handed to you in person at your address, with the paperwork and everything they are going home with. You will have heard from us along the way.
How long will I be waiting?
From two days. The Arizona run is 450 to 600 miles and takes 1 day, counting the water stops and the overnight breaks that any decent transporter builds in. Arizona summers are the reason we travel at night for June through September deliveries. A rabbit does not tolerate heat the way it tolerates cold, and above 85F we move the run rather than risk it.
And if the drive appeals more than the wait, Bakersfield is about 8 to 10 hours from Arizona, which most people split as a long day each way. Come and collect, meet the litter, take your time choosing. It costs nothing but the fuel.
Getting a Netherland Dwarf to Arizona
Arizona is 450 to 600 miles from us, 1 day 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. A Netherland Dwarf is the easiest of the four to move. It travels in a small carrier, it eats little on the road, and it copes with a long journey better than the heavier breeds because there is simply less animal to keep cool.
Arizona weather, and this breed
Arizona summers are the reason we travel at night for June through September deliveries. A rabbit does not tolerate heat the way it tolerates cold, and above 85F we move the run rather than risk it.
Being small, a Netherland Dwarf sheds heat more efficiently than a Mini Lop, which makes summer travel less fraught. The short face is the offsetting factor though, so we still run the southern legs at night.
Netherland Dwarfs ready for Arizona now
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.
Keeping a Netherland Dwarf in the desert Southwest
Small body, efficient heat loss, and dry air to lose it into: a Netherland Dwarf handles the Southwest better than either lop does. The offsetting factor is the short face, which makes the airway less forgiving than a longer-nosed rabbit's, so genuine extremes still need cooling. And a 2lb rabbit dehydrates faster than a 6lb one.
Size. 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown, the smallest rabbit we raise. Care. The short face means dental alignment is worth watching properly: check the front teeth monthly and get any misalignment seen early. Otherwise low maintenance, with a short coat that needs almost nothing.
What it gets mistaken for. Confused with a young Holland Lop, because a Holland at eight weeks is about the adult size of a Netherland Dwarf. The ears settle it: Dwarfs stand upright, Hollands lop. Everything about the Netherland Dwarf.
The other three breeds, also delivered to Arizona
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Arizona, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Mini Lops for sale in Arizona, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- French Lops for sale in Arizona, 10 lb and up full grown
Buying at a distance, honestly
You cannot walk in and look, so the questions matter more. Ask for a video call with the rabbit before you send anything. Ask what happens if it does not work out. Ask how many litters we run a year and you will get a number rather than a change of subject.
We would rather answer all three now than have a Netherland Dwarf come back from Arizona at six months.
