How delivery to Minnesota works
- Tell us which bunny and whereabouts you are. The one you have your eye on, and your nearest town in Minnesota.
- 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 it takes to Minnesota
From two days. Minnesota is 1,800 to 2,000 miles from us, which works out at 2 to 3 days by road once the stops and overnight breaks are counted. Minnesota winters are genuinely severe. A rabbit copes with cold far better than heat, but we still avoid deep-winter runs when the forecast is below zero along the route.
If you would rather drive it yourself, Bakersfield is about 31 to 34 hours from Minnesota 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 Minnesota
Minnesota is 1,800 to 2,000 miles from us, 2 to 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.
Minnesota weather, and this breed
Minnesota winters are genuinely severe. A rabbit copes with cold far better than heat, but we still avoid deep-winter runs when the forecast is below zero along the route.
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 the Midwest
A Netherland Dwarf handles Midwest cold well for its size, provided the water does not freeze and the pen is out of the draught. The bigger regional point is that this is a bright, reactive breed and a long indoor winter needs enrichment. A bored Dwarf is a destructive one, and five months is a long time.
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 Minnesota
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Minnesota, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Mini Lops for sale in Minnesota, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- French Lops for sale in Minnesota, 10 lb and up full grown
What arrives with your Netherland Dwarf
A care sheet written for this breed rather than for rabbits in general, enough of the food it is already on to change over across a week, and its date of birth and parentage in writing. The full list.
Have a vet in mind before it travels to Minnesota. Rabbits need a vet who actually sees rabbits, and that is worth checking in advance rather than in an emergency.
