A Netherland Dwarf Rabbit from our house to your door in North Dakota. That is the short version. The longer one: we are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California, the ground run is done by a USDA certified pet transport service in a climate-controlled vehicle, and nothing we send is ever flown or shipped as cargo. Collection from Bakersfield is welcome any day you can get here. $250 for bucks and does alike.
How delivery to North Dakota works
- Tell us which bunny and whereabouts you are. The one you have your eye on, and your nearest town in North Dakota.
- 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.
North Dakota: the timings
Two days is the floor for anywhere, and North Dakota sits at 3 days because it is 1,700 to 2,000 miles of road from Bakersfield. That figure already includes the stops and the overnight breaks; it is not a straight-line estimate. Our coldest destination. A rabbit travels warm and copes well, but we do not run through a blizzard.
Driving out instead? It is about 29 to 34 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 North Dakota
North Dakota is 1,700 to 2,000 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.
North Dakota weather, and this breed
Our coldest destination. A rabbit travels warm and copes well, but we do not run through a blizzard.
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 Great Plains
The smallest of our four and the one most affected by a plains draught. Wind chill through a poorly sited pen will reach a 2lb rabbit long before it troubles a French Lop. Site it against an interior wall and the problem disappears entirely.
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 North Dakota
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in North Dakota, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Mini Lops for sale in North Dakota, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- French Lops for sale in North Dakota, 10 lb and up full grown
Housing a Netherland Dwarf indoors
Every rabbit we raise lives indoors and we would ask that yours does too. A hutch at the bottom of a North Dakota garden is a shorter, lonelier life, and this is a companion animal that does badly kept at a distance.
Floor space beats cage height every time. 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown, the smallest rabbit we raise, so size the pen off that rather than off what a pet shop sells.
