If you have been searching for Netherland Dwarf Rabbits in Vermont and keep coming up empty, start here. We are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California, and distance is the part we have solved: a USDA certified pet transport service runs your bunny to you by road in a climate-controlled vehicle. If you would rather do the driving, come and collect and meet the whole litter while you are at it. $250 for bucks and does alike.
What happens between here and Vermont
It starts with a message: which bunny, and where in Vermont. 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.
Getting to Vermont: how long, and the drive if you prefer
By transport, from two days. Vermont is 2,800 to 3,100 miles out, 4 days on the road with the stops counted in. Cold suits a rabbit. Mountain roads in a February storm do not, so winter dates are planned around the forecast.
By your own car, about 48 to 53 hours. That is two to three days each way with overnight stops, and families do it every year. The advantage is simple: you see the litter, you pick the one that comes to you rather than the one that photographed best, and nobody else carries your bunny home. Collection from us is free.
Getting a Netherland Dwarf to Vermont
Vermont is 2,800 to 3,100 miles from us, 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.
Vermont weather, and this breed
Cold suits a rabbit. Mountain roads in a February storm do not, so winter dates 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 Vermont 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 New England
Handles New England cold better than its size suggests, but it is the breed most likely to be affected by a draught, and old New England housing has draughts. Site the pen carefully and the winter is straightforward. A long indoor season needs more enrichment for this breed than for the lops.
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.

Why Bakersfield rather than a breeder in Vermont
You may well find one closer, and if they raise the rabbits indoors and will show you the parents then distance is a poor reason to rule them out.
What you get here is a small rabbitry where every rabbit is handled daily, one price whatever the colour, and a journey arranged with a USDA certified pet transporter.
