Delivered to Montana
Netherland Dwarf Rabbits for Sale in Montana
Netherland Dwarfs, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown, the smallest rabbit we raise, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and driven to Montana by us. $250 for bucks and does alike.
We are in Bakersfield, California, not in Montana, and we would rather say so than build a page pretending we are down the road from you. What we do is drive to you: 2 days to Billings, Missoula, Bozeman or anywhere smaller, arranged by us rather than handed to a courier. $250 for bucks and does alike.
Getting a Netherland Dwarf to Montana
Montana is 1,100 to 1,400 miles from us, 2 days on the road. We drive it ourselves in a climate-controlled vehicle with regular stops. No depot, no holding facility, no handover between carriers, and never flown or 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.
Montana weather, and this breed
Cold is fine for a rabbit. Snow closing the route is not, so winter deliveries are planned around the forecast.
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 Montana now
Raised indoors and handled daily. If this one has gone, ask and we will tell you honestly what is coming rather than take a deposit against a maybe.
Keeping a Netherland Dwarf in the Mountain West
A Netherland Dwarf is small enough that a Mountain West temperature swing reaches it quickly, in both directions. It warms and chills faster than a heavier rabbit, so a stable indoor position away from windows matters more than the outdoor forecast. Altitude itself is a non-issue.
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.

Buck or doe, for a Montana household
A more consequential decision than colour and one most buyers leave to chance. Bucks tend to be steadier and more affectionate once neutered; does are often more independent and can be territorial about their space before spaying.
The full comparison, and tell us which way your household leans and we will point you at the right rabbit rather than the next one available.
