Questions we get about getting a bunny to Utah
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.
How long it takes to Utah
From two days. Utah is 600 to 800 miles from us, which works out at 1 to 2 days by road once the stops and overnight breaks are counted. Straightforward most of the year. Winter over the passes into Salt Lake is the only thing that moves a date.
If you would rather drive it yourself, Bakersfield is about 10 to 14 hours from Utah behind the wheel, two days each way with an overnight stop. 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 Utah
Utah is 600 to 800 miles from us, 1 to 2 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.
Utah weather, and this breed
Straightforward most of the year. Winter over the passes into Salt Lake is the only thing that moves a date.
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 desert Southwest
Small body, efficient heat loss, and dry air to lose it into: a Netherland Dwarf handles the Southwest better than either lop does. The offsetting factor is the short face, which makes the airway less forgiving than a longer-nosed rabbit's, so genuine extremes still need cooling. And a 2lb rabbit dehydrates faster than a 6lb one.
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 Utah
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Utah, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Mini Lops for sale in Utah, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- French Lops for sale in Utah, 10 lb and up full grown
Is a Netherland Dwarf right for your household?
Worth settling before the distance and the delivery. For somebody who wants a genuinely tiny rabbit and understands that small does not mean easy. They are brighter and more reactive than the lops, and they need a quiet, patient household rather than a busy one.
If that does not describe your household, say so and we will tell you which of the four would suit better. Sometimes the answer is none of them, and that is a better outcome than a rabbit in the wrong home in Utah.
