Arlen Rabbitry sends bunnies to Kentucky the year round. We are in Bakersfield, California, we raise Netherland Dwarf Rabbits indoors, and the ground leg to Kentucky is handled by a USDA certified pet transport service: climate-controlled vehicle, road the whole way, never a cargo hold. Prefer to collect? Come to Bakersfield and pick yours in person. $250 for bucks and does alike.
How delivery to Kentucky works
- Tell us which bunny and whereabouts you are. The one you have your eye on, and your nearest town in Kentucky.
- We price the run for your address. Quoted for where you actually live, and you get the figure before you commit to anything.
- We agree a date around the weather. Set by what the route looks like rather than by the calendar.
- Your bunny travels by road, climate controlled. Regular stops for water and a check, in a carrier with room to turn round. Never flown, never cargo.
- It is handed to you in person. Straight from the transporter's hands to yours, at your address.
- You hear from us on the way. Updates while it is happening, not a message once it is done.
How long will I be waiting?
From two days. The Kentucky run is 1,950 to 2,250 miles and takes 3 days, counting the water stops and the overnight breaks that any decent transporter builds in. Comfortable ground most of the year. Only the height of summer humidity changes how we schedule.
And if the drive appeals more than the wait, Bakersfield is about 34 to 39 hours from Kentucky, 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.
Getting a Netherland Dwarf to Kentucky
Kentucky is 1,950 to 2,250 miles from us, 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. 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.
Kentucky weather, and this breed
Comfortable ground most of the year. Only the height of summer humidity changes how we schedule.
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 Kentucky 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 South
Better suited to the South than either lop, because a small body sheds heat efficiently. The short face is the real limitation: humid Southern air is harder on a compressed airway than on an open one, so a Netherland Dwarf that is breathing audibly at rest in August needs cooling immediately rather than watching.
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 Kentucky
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Kentucky, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Mini Lops for sale in Kentucky, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- French Lops for sale in Kentucky, 10 lb and up full grown
Why Bakersfield rather than a breeder in Kentucky
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.
