Delivered to North Carolina
Netherland Dwarf Rabbits for Sale in North Carolina
Netherland Dwarfs, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown, the smallest rabbit we raise, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to North Carolina by USDA certified ground pet transport. $250 for bucks and does alike.
Two ways this works if you are in North Carolina. 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.
What happens between here and North Carolina
It starts with a message: which bunny, and where in North Carolina. 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 it takes to North Carolina
From two days. North Carolina is 2,300 to 2,600 miles from us, which works out at 3 to 4 days by road once the stops and overnight breaks are counted. The coastal plain gets humid in July and August; the Piedmont and mountains are moderate. We schedule around the eastern half in summer.
If you would rather drive it yourself, Bakersfield is about 40 to 45 hours from North Carolina 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 North Carolina
North Carolina is 2,300 to 2,600 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.
North Carolina weather, and this breed
The coastal plain gets humid in July and August; the Piedmont and mountains are moderate. We schedule around the eastern half in summer.
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 North Carolina 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.

Keeping a Netherland Dwarf in North Carolina, month to month
The two things that catch North Carolina owners out are the water supply in the cold months and the cooling in the hot ones, and both are cheap to solve before they matter rather than during.
Everything else is the same as it would be anywhere: unlimited timothy hay, a pellet ration measured rather than topped up, and fresh greens introduced slowly. What we feed and why.
