Hey there, Alabama. If YOU have scrolled through Holland Lops for sale in Alabama listings hoping just once to find true blue eyes, pull up a rocking chair. This is the page you were looking for.
Our rabbitry is in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, near Tulsa. Our kits are handled from the moment their eyes open, passed between children and cradled through the everyday hum of the house, so a bunny leaves us already sweet as can be, and unbothered by a little commotion., Alabama families have three ways to bring one home: a free pickup at our door, ground transport, or a door-to-door flight we arrange for you.
We are an American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) registered rabbitry raising blue-eyed Holland Lops, the rare snow-white kind and the Vienna-marked kind in colorful coats, blue, chocolate, harlequin. Every kit grows up in the middle of our home, held daily from its first week.
Holland Lops for Sale in Alabama, and What Makes Ours Different
The difference is looking right back at you.
Blue eyes in a rabbit come from the Vienna gene, and it stays rare because working it into a strong, healthy line asks years of deliberate pairings. It turns up in snowy Blue-Eyed Whites and in colorful coats alike.
Our Holland Lops for sale in Alabama are pedigreed, raised underfoot in the thick of family life, and handled from the nest box on. Vienna gene first, type always, and the sweetest little personalities we can breed toward.

Getting home
Three ways home to Alabama
Alabama sits a comfortable drive southeast of us, so there are three ways home, and the first one costs nothing at all.
Meet in person
always open
Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley are the closest corner of Alabama to us, an easy trip for north Alabama families. Plenty come up, meet their bunny in our living room, and drive home with a lap passenger.
Pickup and meetups are free, wherever in Alabama you start.
Ground transport
from, route by route
The Birmingham and I-65 corridor connects quickest, on down through Montgomery and Mobile; the Wiregrass and far Gulf Coast take a touch more patience. The wait is simply for one of a transporter’s planned trips to come near your town. Rates open at $125. Booking the transporter is yours to arrange, and it all stays in your hands. If you would ever like a hand finding one, just ask and we will point you to the transporters we trust.
Door-to-door flight
we handle the booking
For central and south Alabama, air is the graceful choice. We set up the flight and handle the arrangements, so your only errand is the airport run, into Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, or Huntsville.
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 Alabama requires
Here’s the happy version: a pet rabbit coming from us doesn’t need special paperwork to enter Alabama. Your bunny just needs to be healthy, and ours are.
Oklahoma has never recorded a case of rabbit hemorrhagic disease, so your kit begins its trip on clean ground. And if your rabbit flies, the airline’s health certificate is already folded into the $650.
If you’d like a certificate anyway, for your own peace of mind, we’re glad to book the appointment and get it in order for $100. Otherwise, there’s nothing between you and your bunny.
The current rules live on the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries import requirements page, in the state’s own words.
Good questions
Questions you might have
What are we promising you?
Your bunny is coming from an ethical breeder, handled daily from birth and is used to everything from kids joyful screams to the vacuum running. Your kit travels with a 72-hour health guarantee.
Every word of it is on our sales policy page.
Are blue-eyed rabbits as healthy as the rest?
Just as healthy. Vienna is a color gene and that is all it does, tinting the coat and the eyes while leaving a sound, sturdy little rabbit underneath.
Our Holland Lops for sale in Alabama are pedigreed and passed around by children every day of their lives, so yours steps out of the carrier already used to being loved on.
Does my rabbit need a health certificate?
Good news: a pet rabbit coming from Oklahoma doesn’t need special paperwork to enter Alabama. Flying? The airline requires a health certificate regardless, and it’s folded into the $650. For ground or pickup, we can handle the whole errand for $100 if you’d like one.
Could we just drive up and get our bunny?
We would be delighted. Pickup in person costs you nothing but the drive, north Alabama families can make it a day trip, and your kit spends the ride home being adored instead of waiting on a route.
No paperwork stands between you and the drive home, so all you need is a carrier and a free afternoon.

The ups and downs
Owning a Holland Lop in Alabama
Alabama wrote the book on gracious Southern living, and a Holland Lop is more than happy to settle into the easy pace of it.
Winters here are mild and short, kind country for a rabbit in a permanent wool coat, and the state’s fair-and-4-H culture runs deep, anchored by two respected veterinary and agricultural universities. For most of the year, this is fine rabbit country.
The one catch is no mystery to anyone who has lived through an Alabama August: the Deep South summer. Heat stacked on top of humidity is the one thing a rabbit truly cannot manage on its own.
Indoors settles it completely. An Alabama lop living in the house passes August the way sensible Alabamians 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 Alabama
A rabbit needs a veterinarian who sees rabbits often, and Alabama’s flagship option is first-rate.
I am several states over in Oklahoma, so I have not personally sat in any of these waiting rooms. They come highly rated by the rabbit community and by sources like Google, so call ahead to confirm they are taking new rabbit patients and the fit feels right.
Auburn
Auburn University Bailey Small Animal Teaching Hospital
Auburn’s College of Veterinary Medicine runs a dedicated Avian and Exotic Service inside its AAHA-accredited teaching hospital, caring for exotic companion mammals alongside board-certified specialists across the building.
Birmingham & the Coast
Two quick questions
In the metro or down toward Mobile, 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 Alabama, 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 an Alabama summer
August is the one month that asks something of you. This is a humid state from the Tennessee Valley to the Gulf shore, 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 take care of themselves.
A handful of summer habits keeps an Alabama 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 storm-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 Alabama history
The state where the stars fell
On a November night in 1833, the sky over Alabama came alive with one of the most spectacular meteor storms ever recorded, thousands of shooting stars an hour, so bright and so many that people woke their neighbors and prayed in the streets. The night burned itself into local memory for generations, gave the state its unofficial motto, “Stars Fell on Alabama,” and inspired a jazz standard still played today. It is a lovely thing, to be the place where the stars once fell.
We think that suits a Holland Lop rather well. What we raise carries its own small piece of sky, that clear, storybook Vienna-gene blue looking up out of snow-white or harlequin fur, the color of a bright night made gentle. Sending our Holland Lops for sale in Alabama feels a little like handing someone one small star to keep.
Stars once fell on Alabama. Ours just landed in a pair of eyes.
