Treasured Holland Lops for Sale in Mississippi
Blue-eyed Holland Lops for sale in Mississippi, snowy Blue-Eyed Whites and blue-eyed kits in a whole range of Vienna colors, raised in Oklahoma and settling in from the Delta to the Coast.
A Holland Lop is a small, round, lop-eared armful. Ours look back at you with clear blue eyes.
Rhythm & Bleu is an American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) registered rabbitry in Northeast Oklahoma near Tulsa. We raise Blue-Eyed Whites and blue-eyed Vienna-marked kits in colorful coats, and a full pedigree goes home with every one.
Every kit is handled from the day it is born, growing up in a house that is rarely quiet, so they leave as sociable and sweet as a rabbit can be. Mississippi families bring one home by ground or by air, and pickup here is always free.
Holland Lops for Sale in Mississippi, and What Makes Ours Different
Blue eyes do not happen by accident.
They come from the Vienna gene, which is recessive. Both parents have to carry it, only a share of any litter shows it, and getting a line to that point takes years of patient pairings.
Every kit here is pedigreed and grows up in the thick of the house, getting spoiled rotten every single day. We breed for temperament first, then type, then color.

Getting home
Three ways home to Mississippi
Mississippi sits a comfortable drive south of us, so there are three ways home, and the first one costs nothing but the drive.
Meet in person
always open
Tupelo is roughly a day’s drive from our door, an easy trip for north Mississippi families. Plenty come up, meet their bunny in our living room, and drive home with a lap passenger.
Pickup and meetups cost nothing but the miles, wherever in Mississippi you start.
Ground transport
from, route by route
Transporters come down into Jackson, then fan out to Meridian, Hattiesburg, and the Coast.
The I-55 corridor connects quickest; the Piney Woods and Gulf Coast take a touch more patience. Transporters keep fixed calendars, and the wait is simply for one of those planned trips to run near your town. Rates open at $125. Booking the transporter is yours to arrange, so the trip stays in your hands. If you’d ever like help finding one, just ask.
Door-to-door flight
we handle the booking
For central and south Mississippi, air is the graceful choice. We set up the flight and handle the arrangements. One travel day into Jackson, Gulfport, or Meridian, whichever sits closest to you, or nearby Memphis, and your only errand is the airport run.
The $650 covers everything, cargo ticket, airline-approved carrier, food and water, and the health certificate. Airlines open cargo booking about two weeks ahead of the flight.
The paperwork
What Mississippi requires
Mississippi asks for a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI), issued by an accredited veterinarian, confirming your rabbit is healthy and free of signs of disease. That much matches most states.
Would you rather not chase down paperwork? This is exactly what we are here for. We’ll book the appointment and get the certificate lined up and in order for $100. You just meet your bunny.
Oklahoma has never recorded a case of rabbit hemorrhagic disease. Your kit begins its trip on clean ground, and the certificate simply puts a veterinarian’s signature to it. If your rabbit flies, the health certificate is already part of the $650.
The full rules live on the Mississippi Board of Animal Health’s entry requirements page, in the state’s own words.
Before you decide
What Mississippi families ask
Does my rabbit need a health certificate?
Yes, Mississippi looks for a CVI from an accredited vet. Flying? It is folded into the $650. Ground or pickup? Book your own vet visit, or pass the whole errand, paperwork and all, to us for $100.
Are blue-eyed rabbits healthy?
Every bit as healthy as any Holland. Blue eyes come from the Vienna gene, a color gene, so it touches the coat and the eyes and nothing else. We never knowingly send home a sick animal, and your rabbit’s health is guaranteed for 72 hours after pickup. Our kits are pedigreed and handled every day in the middle of the house, so we know each one well before it travels.
Could we just drive up and get our bunny?
We would be delighted. Pickup in person costs nothing but a day on the road, north Mississippi families can make it a day trip, and your kit spends the ride home being adored instead of waiting on a route.

The ups and downs
Owning a Holland Lop in Mississippi
Mississippi turned Southern hospitality into an art form, and a Holland Lop is more than happy to be on the receiving end of it.
Winters here are among the mildest and shortest anywhere, easy country for a rabbit in a permanent wool coat, and the state’s fair-and-4-H culture runs deep. For most of the year, this is fine rabbit country.
The catch is no mystery to anyone who has spent a July here: the Gulf summer. Heat stacked on top of humidity is the one thing a rabbit truly cannot manage on its own.
Indoors settles it completely. A Mississippi lop living in the house passes July the way sensible Mississippians do, in the cool, near its people, unbothered. Your living room is the finest rabbit country in the state.
Rabbit-savvy care
Finding a good vet in Mississippi
A rabbit needs a veterinarian who sees rabbits often, and a couple of good questions will find you one anywhere in the state.
Being honest about it, I’m up in Oklahoma and haven’t sat in any of these waiting rooms. Call ahead, confirm they’re taking new rabbit patients, and go with your own read on whether the fit feels right.
Starkville
MSU College of Veterinary Medicine
Mississippi State University runs the state’s only veterinary college, and its Animal Health Center is the natural referral point when a case calls for exotic or specialty expertise close to home.
Jackson & the Coast
Two quick questions
In the metro or down on the Coast, call a clinic and ask a pair of things: do they see rabbits regularly, and would they be comfortable with a rabbit spay or neuter. Two confident yeses and you have found your vet.
Everywhere else
The directory route
The House Rabbit Society’s vet directory at houserabbit.org reaches across Mississippi, kept by people who take their own rabbits to the clinics they list.
One more resource
Your county 4-H rabbit leader always knows which local vet the show families call first, and asking costs nothing at all.
Beating the heat
Caring for a Holland Lop through a Mississippi summer
Any page about Holland Lops for sale in Mississippi has to say a straight word about August. This is a humid state from the Delta flatlands to the Coast, and damp heat is the one weather a lop truly minds. The plan is simple, it just has to be real, and the other nine months of the year take care of themselves.
A handful of summer habits keeps a Mississippi lop comfortable clear through to the first cool snap.
- Go by the feels-like number, because on the Gulf side of the South the humidity, not the thermometer, decides how hard a day lands on a rabbit.
- Keep frozen water bottles cycling through the freezer all summer so a cold one is always ready to sprawl against.
- Park the rabbit’s space in the coolest interior room, away from sunstruck west windows.
- Build a hurricane-season plan for the bunny too: a battery fan, extra water, and a cooler with ice packs in case the power drops on a hot week.
- Freshen hay more often in muggy months, since damp air shortens its life before your nose catches on.

A little Mississippi history
The state where American music learned to sing
Down in the Delta, in the cotton country around Clarksdale, a sound took shape in the early twentieth century that would remake the whole world’s idea of music. The Mississippi blues, born on porches and in juke joints, gave rock and roll, soul, and country their very backbone, which is why the state fairly claims to be the Birthplace of America’s Music. The whole American songbook, in a real sense, starts here.
We named our rabbitry Rhythm & Bleu, so a state this steeped in blues feels like kin. The blues we raise are a quieter kind, a clear, storybook blue gazing up out of a bundle of snow-white or harlequin fur, but like a good Delta tune, they stop people right where they stand. Sending our Holland Lops for sale in Mississippi feels a little like carrying a small blue note back to the place that first taught the country to sing.
