Netherland Dwarf Rabbits for Sale in Maryland

Are you looking for Netherland Dwarf Rabbits for sale in Maryland and have not found anyone yet? You are not doing it badly. There are not many of us and the litters are small. We are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California, and we get bunnies to Maryland families by coordinated ground transport with a USDA certified pet transport service. Or drive out and collect from us, whichever suits you. $250 for bucks and does alike.
So how does a bunny actually get to Maryland?
You tell us which one you want and roughly where in Maryland 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.
How long it takes to Maryland
From two days. Maryland is 2,500 to 2,800 miles from us, which works out at 4 days by road once the stops and overnight breaks are counted. Humid around the Bay in high summer, mild otherwise. At this distance the date is planned rather than picked.
If you would rather drive it yourself, Bakersfield is about 43 to 48 hours from Maryland behind the wheel, two to three days each way with overnight stops. A good number of families do exactly that: you meet the parents, you choose in person rather than from a photograph, and your bunny comes home on somebody's lap. Collection is free and we work around whatever time you can get here.
Getting a Netherland Dwarf to Maryland
Maryland is 2,500 to 2,800 miles from us, 4 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.
Maryland weather, and this breed
Humid around the Bay in high summer, mild otherwise. At this distance the date is planned rather than picked.
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 Maryland 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 Mid-Atlantic
A good fit for the Mid-Atlantic and, being the smallest we raise, the most realistic of the four for a genuinely small apartment in Philadelphia, Baltimore or northern Virginia. It still needs daily floor time out of the pen, which is the part small-space owners most often skip.
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.

Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.

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