Netherland Dwarf Rabbits for Sale in Massachusetts
Netherland Dwarfs, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown, the smallest rabbit we raise, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Massachusetts by USDA certified ground pet transport. $250 for bucks and does alike.
Two ways this works if you are in Massachusetts. We bring your bunny to you, or you come and fetch them. We are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California. The first is a coordinated ground run with a USDA certified pet transport service, climate controlled and by road the whole way. The second is a drive out, a proper look at the litter, and your bunny home on somebody's lap.
Both are straightforward and we will talk you through either. $250 for bucks and does alike.
So how does a bunny actually get to Massachusetts?
You tell us which one you want and roughly where in Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts
From two days. Massachusetts is 2,800 to 3,000 miles from us, which works out at 3 to 4 days by road once the stops and overnight breaks are counted. The furthest corner of the country from us, and a nor easter will move a delivery by a day without argument. Rabbits handle the cold; stopped traffic in a storm is what we avoid.
If you would rather drive it yourself, Bakersfield is about 48 to 52 hours from Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts
Massachusetts is 2,800 to 3,000 miles from us, 3 to 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.
Massachusetts weather, and this breed
The furthest corner of the country from us, and a nor easter will move a delivery by a day without argument. Rabbits handle the cold; stopped traffic in a storm is what we avoid.
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.

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 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 delivered to Massachusetts
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Massachusetts, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Mini Lops for sale in Massachusetts, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- French Lops for sale in Massachusetts, 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 Massachusetts 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.
