Netherland Dwarf Rabbits for Sale in Louisiana
Netherland Dwarfs, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown, the smallest rabbit we raise, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Louisiana by USDA certified ground pet transport. $250 for bucks and does alike.
If you have been searching for Netherland Dwarf Rabbits in Louisiana 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. $250 for bucks and does alike.
So how does a bunny actually get to Louisiana?
You tell us which one you want and roughly where in Louisiana you are. We come back with a price for your actual address rather than a figure off a chart, and a date chosen around what the route looks like that week rather than around the calendar.
From there it is a USDA certified pet transport service doing the ground leg. Climate-controlled vehicle, regular stops for water and a check, and a carrier with enough room to turn round and stretch out. Your bunny is never flown and never goes as cargo.
At the far end the transporter hands your bunny to you in person at your door, and you hear from us while the run is happening rather than only when it is finished.
Getting to Louisiana: how long, and the drive if you prefer
By transport, from two days. Louisiana is 1,850 to 2,150 miles out, 3 days on the road with the stops counted in. The most humid state we deliver into, and humidity is harder on a rabbit than temperature alone. Summer runs are overnight and we watch the forecast closely.
By your own car, about 32 to 37 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.
Getting a Netherland Dwarf to Louisiana
Louisiana is 1,850 to 2,150 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.
Louisiana weather, and this breed
The most humid state we deliver into, and humidity is harder on a rabbit than temperature alone. Summer runs are overnight and we watch the forecast closely.
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 Louisiana 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 Louisiana
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Louisiana, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Mini Lops for sale in Louisiana, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- French Lops for sale in Louisiana, 10 lb and up full grown
Housing a Netherland Dwarf indoors
Every rabbit we raise lives indoors and we would ask that yours does too. A hutch at the bottom of a Louisiana 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. 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown, the smallest rabbit we raise, so size the pen off that rather than off what a pet shop sells.
