Netherland Dwarf Rabbits for Sale in New Jersey
Netherland Dwarfs, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown, the smallest rabbit we raise, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to New Jersey by USDA certified ground pet transport. $250 for bucks and does alike.
New Jersey is a long way from Bakersfield, and it has never once been the reason a family went without. We are Arlen Rabbitry. We raise Netherland Dwarf Rabbits indoors in California and send them to New Jersey by USDA certified ground pet transport, climate controlled, never flown and never as cargo. If you would rather make the trip and pick your own, our door is open. $250 for bucks and does alike.
What happens between here and New Jersey
It starts with a message: which bunny, and where in New Jersey. We price that run for your address and come back with a date, and the date is chosen by the weather on the route rather than by what is convenient.
Then a USDA certified pet transport service takes over the ground leg. They do this for a living, in a climate-controlled vehicle, with regular stops for water and a look at the animal. There is no flight involved at any point and your bunny never travels as cargo.
They hand your bunny to you at your door, in person, and you will have heard from us while it was on the road rather than only at the end.
How long will I be waiting?
From two days. The New Jersey run is 2,600 to 2,800 miles and takes 3 to 4 days, counting the water stops and the overnight breaks that any decent transporter builds in. One of our longest runs. Winter storms on the eastern seaboard are the usual reason a date moves by a day.
And if the drive appeals more than the wait, Bakersfield is about 45 to 48 hours from New Jersey, which most people split as two to three days each way with overnight stops. Come and collect, meet the litter, take your time choosing. It costs nothing but the fuel.
Getting a Netherland Dwarf to New Jersey
New Jersey is 2,600 to 2,800 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.
New Jersey weather, and this breed
One of our longest runs. Winter storms on the eastern seaboard are the usual reason a date moves by a day.
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.
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.

Finding a rabbit vet in New Jersey
Do this before the rabbit arrives, not during an emergency. Rabbits are exotics to most practices, and a vet who sees them regularly is a different proposition from one who will. Ring round and ask directly how many rabbits they see in a month.
It matters more than the breed you pick. A Netherland Dwarf with a good local vet does better than any rabbit without one.
