Delivered to Connecticut
Netherland Dwarfs for Sale in Connecticut
Netherland Dwarfs, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown, the smallest rabbit we raise, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and driven to Connecticut by us. Bucks $250, does $280.
We are in Bakersfield, California, not in Connecticut, 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: 4 days to Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford or anywhere smaller, arranged by us rather than handed to a courier. Bucks $250, does $280.
Getting a Netherland Dwarf to Connecticut
Connecticut is 2,750 to 3,000 miles from us, 4 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. 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.
Connecticut weather, and this breed
Near the furthest point we drive to. A winter nor easter moves a delivery by a day without argument.
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 Connecticut now
Raised indoors and handled daily. If this one has gone, ask and we will tell you honestly what is coming rather than take a deposit against a maybe.
Keeping a Netherland Dwarf in New England
Handles New England cold better than its size suggests, but it is the breed most likely to be affected by a draught, and old New England housing has draughts. Site the pen carefully and the winter is straightforward. A long indoor season needs more enrichment for this breed than for the lops.
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 driven to Connecticut
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.

- French Lops for sale in Connecticut, 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 Connecticut at six months.
