The honest position is that we are not in Virginia, and it stops nobody. We are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California. Families right across Virginia have had bunnies from us, brought to them by a USDA certified pet transport service in a climate-controlled vehicle, by road, never flown. And anyone who would rather drive out and choose in person is welcome to. $250 for bucks and does alike.
Questions we get about getting a bunny to Virginia
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.
Virginia: the timings
Two days is the floor for anywhere, and Virginia sits at 4 days because it is 2,450 to 2,750 miles of road from Bakersfield. That figure already includes the stops and the overnight breaks; it is not a straight-line estimate. Humid in August around the Bay, mild the rest of the year. One of our longest runs, so the date is agreed well in advance.
Driving out instead? It is about 42 to 47 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 Virginia
Virginia is 2,450 to 2,750 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.
Virginia weather, and this breed
Humid in August around the Bay, mild the rest of the year. One of our longest runs, so the date is agreed well in advance.
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.

What a Netherland Dwarf actually costs in the first year
The rabbit is the cheapest part. Housing, a spay or neuter, hay by the bale, pellets and an annual vet visit run well past the purchase price, and Virginia buyers should add the delivery on top of that.
