The honest position is that we are not in Mississippi, and it stops nobody. We are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California. Families right across Mississippi have had bunnies from us, brought to them by a USDA certified pet transport service in a climate-controlled vehicle, by road, never flown. And anyone who would rather drive out and choose in person is welcome to. $250 for bucks and does alike.
Questions we get about getting a bunny to Mississippi
Who actually does the driving? A USDA certified pet transport service. They carry live animals for a living, in a climate-controlled vehicle, and they stop regularly for water and a check.
Is my bunny ever flown? No. Road the whole way, every time. Nothing of ours goes in a cargo hold.
What does it cost? Quoted for your address rather than off a chart, and you are told before you commit.
How is the date set? Around the weather on the route. We would rather move a run than send a rabbit into heat or snow.
Can I just come and get it? Yes, and you are very welcome to.
Mississippi: the timings
Two days is the floor for anywhere, and Mississippi sits at 3 days because it is 1,800 to 2,100 miles of road from Bakersfield. That figure already includes the stops and the overnight breaks; it is not a straight-line estimate. Heat and humidity are the constraint from May through September, and we will move a date rather than travel through an advisory.
Driving out instead? It is about 31 to 36 hours at the wheel, two to three days each way with overnight stops. Worth it for a lot of people, because you get to handle the whole litter before you decide and your bunny travels home with you rather than with anybody else. There is no charge for collecting.
Getting a Netherland Dwarf to Mississippi
Mississippi is 1,800 to 2,100 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.
Mississippi weather, and this breed
Heat and humidity are the constraint from May through September, and we will move a date rather than travel through an advisory.
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 Mississippi 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 Mississippi
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.

- Mini Lops for sale in Mississippi, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- French Lops for sale in Mississippi, 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 Mississippi at six months.
