Sunny Holland Lops for Sale in South Carolina
Rare Blue-Eyed Whites and blue-eyed Vienna-marked Holland Lops for sale in South Carolina, from the Upstate foothills down to the Lowcountry marsh.
Blue eyes, a warm coat, and ears that fold like they are made of velvet. That is what we raise.
Rhythm & Bleu is an American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) registered rabbitry in Northeast Oklahoma near Tulsa, raising Blue-Eyed Whites and blue-eyed Vienna-marked kits in colorful coats. Every kit goes home with a full pedigree.
They are handled every day from birth in a house that stays busy, the vacuum, the dishes, doors, a toddler mid-tantrum, so they leave as sociable and sweet as a rabbit can be. South Carolina families bring one home by ground or by air, and pickup here is always free.
Why the eyes
Holland Lops for Sale in South Carolina, and What Makes Ours Different
Blue eyes take more than luck.
They come from the Vienna gene, which is recessive, so both parents have to carry it. Only a share of any litter shows it, and that slow arithmetic is why it takes years of patient pairings.
Our Holland Lops for sale in South Carolina leave here pedigreed, brought up in the thick of family life, and doted on from their first week. We breed for temperament first, then type, then color.

Getting home
Three ways home to South Carolina
Three ways to bring one of our Holland Lops for sale in South Carolina home, and the first one costs nothing but the drive.
Meet in person
always open
Pickup at our home costs nothing but a day on the road. Families do turn it into a proper trip, and Old Route 66 runs practically past our door if you want the scenic version of the drive.
You meet your bunny, ask everything face to face, and she rides home in somebody’s lap that same afternoon.
Ground transport
from, route by route
Drivers coming east reach the Upstate first, then carry on through the Midlands toward the coast.
The I-85 and I-26 towns come together quickest, Greenville, Spartanburg, Columbia. The Grand Strand and the deep Lowcountry ask a bit more patience. Transporters keep fixed calendars, and the wait is really for one of their planned trips to pass near your town. Rates open at $125. Booking the transporter is yours to arrange, so the trip stays in your hands. If you would ever like help finding one, just ask.
Door-to-door flight
we handle the booking
Air folds that long haul into a single calm travel day, and South Carolina gives you a choice of landing spots. We set up the flight and handle the arrangements. We fly into Charleston, Columbia, Florence, and Greenville/Spartanburg, which covers the Lowcountry, the Midlands, the Pee Dee, and the Upstate between them.
Tell us your town and we will tell you the shortest drive. Routes do shift from time to time, so we confirm your airport together before anything is booked. Your only errand is the run to the terminal.
The $650 covers everything, cargo ticket, airline-approved carrier, food and water, and the health certificate with its acclimation statement. Airlines open cargo booking about two weeks ahead, so leave yourself a little runway.
The paperwork
What South Carolina requires
South Carolina keeps this simple for a pet rabbit. The state sorts its import rules by species, and rabbits aren’t among them, so there’s no rabbit-specific paperwork standing between you and your bunny.
A health certificate is still the tidiest way to travel with no questions at all, and it stays good for 30 days. Every kit we raise carries an ear tattoo, so her permanent identification is settled before you even ask.
Let us take care of the details for you. We’ll book the appointment and get the paperwork lined up and in order for $100.
Your bunny will breeze through that exam. Oklahoma has never recorded a case of rabbit hemorrhagic disease, and every kit here is raised in the middle of the house and handled daily. If your kit flies, the certificate is already folded into the $650.
South Carolina’s animal health authority is Clemson Livestock Poultry Health, which publishes the state’s import requirements in its own words.
Good to know
The questions we hear most
What do we stand behind?
Your kit goes home thriving, well socialized, and handled every day of her life here. She comes with a 72-hour health guarantee.
It is all set down plainly on our sales policy page.
Do blue eyes come with health trouble?
None at all. Vienna is a color gene, so color is the whole of its business, the coat and the eyes, and the rabbit underneath is as sound as any Holland on a show table.
Our Holland Lops for sale in South Carolina are pedigreed and handled every day from birth, so they leave here as sociable and sweet as a rabbit can be.
What paperwork does South Carolina need?
South Carolina sorts its import rules by species, and rabbits aren’t on the list, so there’s no special paperwork for a pet bunny coming home to you.
Flying? The airline asks for a health certificate regardless, and it is already included in the $650. For ground or pickup, we’re glad to handle the whole errand for $100 if you’d like one anyway.
How long does ground transport take?
It depends where you sit on the driver’s route, since the schedule gets built around the whole load.
The Grand Strand and the deep Lowcountry can take longer. The driver’s route decides the timing, and the booking stays in your hands. If you would ever like help finding one, just ask.
Could we drive out and fetch her ourselves?
We would love that, and it costs you nothing but the drive. It is a long haul from the coast, but families make a weekend of it and carry their bunny home the same afternoon they meet her.

Clubs and shows in South Carolina
A lop is an easy way into a warm circle of breeders, show families, and 4-H kids. Here is where to start looking.
Near you
Local Clubs & 4-H
South Carolina’s county fair and 4-H tradition keeps youth rabbit projects going from the Upstate to the coast, and a local all-breed club is the fastest road to a mentor and a show table.
The breed
Holland Lop Specialty Club
The Holland Lop Rabbit Specialty Club is the breed’s national home, the place for standards, sweepstakes, and everything worth knowing about type and color in these little lops.
The district
ARBA District 9
South Carolina shows under ARBA District 9, a stretch of map running from the Carolinas up through Virginia, Maryland, and the mid-Atlantic. Plenty of sanctioned shows sit within a comfortable drive.
Shows and fairs worth a visit
The South Carolina State Fair in Columbia fills its livestock and 4-H barns every fall, and county fairs across the state keep the small-animal tradition going strong.
For sanctioned rabbit shows near you, the ARBA club search keeps the current list.
The ups and downs
Owning a Holland Lop in South Carolina
South Carolina runs warm and gracious, and a Holland Lop takes to that pace without any trouble at all.
Winter here barely counts, which is easy living for an animal in a permanent wool coat, and the state’s fair and 4-H culture runs deep enough that a new rabbit family finds help quickly.
The catch is the calendar. Summer does not arrive and leave, it settles in, stretching warm and sticky from late spring well into fall, and the Lowcountry carries humidity the Upstate never sees.
One answer handles the whole season. An indoor lop spends those long months in the cool beside its people, perfectly content, while the porch does whatever the porch is going to do.
Rabbit-savvy care
Finding a good vet in South Carolina
A rabbit needs a veterinarian who sees rabbits often, and South Carolina is better supplied than most states.
I’m several states west in Oklahoma, so I haven’t sat in these waiting rooms myself. These come well rated, and one quick call ahead will tell you whether they’re taking new rabbit patients and the fit feels right.
Charleston & the coast
Exotic Vet Care
This Charleston practice puts it plainly on its own site: they are rabbit vets, with veterinarians carrying advanced training through internships, residencies, and board certification. They see clients from Myrtle Beach, Beaufort, and the Columbia metro as well.
The Upstate
Thornblade Animal Hospital
Up in Greenville, Thornblade lists rabbits directly among the small mammals it treats, alongside guinea pigs, chinchillas, and ferrets, with wellness visits built around habitat and nutrition.
Everywhere else
Two quick questions
Between the metros, ring a clinic and ask a pair of things: do they see rabbits regularly, and would they be comfortable performing a rabbit spay or neuter. Two confident yeses and you can stop looking.
One more resource
The House Rabbit Society keeps a vet directory at houserabbit.org covering the whole state, and your county 4-H rabbit leader always knows who the show families call first.
Seasonal care
Caring for a Holland Lop through a South Carolina summer
The thing to plan around here is not a peak, it is a stretch. Our Holland Lops for sale in South Carolina do beautifully once you have a plan that can hold up for months rather than days.
A handful of steady habits carries a bunny comfortably from the first warm week to the last.
- Trust the feels-like number over the thermometer, because along the coast the humidity decides how hard a day lands on a rabbit long before the temperature does.
- Keep a rotation of frozen water bottles going all season, not just on the worst afternoons, so a cool one is always waiting.
- Set the bunny’s space in the coolest interior room, well away from west-facing windows that bake through the afternoon.
- If you live where storms mean leaving, build the rabbit into the evacuation plan early: carrier by the door, water, hay, and a copy of her paperwork.
- Refresh hay more often through the humid months, since damp air spoils it faster than you would expect.
For deeper reading, Clemson Extension publishes dependable small-animal and 4-H guidance, and rabbit.org is the friendly reference we hand to every new rabbit family.
A little South Carolina history
The Lowcountry rabbit with the blue tail
Out in the Lowcountry marshes there lives a rabbit that swims. Startle a marsh rabbit and it will not bolt for the brush the way a cottontail does. It slides into the water and goes, now and then floating with nothing but its eyes and nose above the surface.
A Charleston naturalist named John Bachman wrote the species up in 1837 from animals he had collected here, and eastern South Carolina is still the ground science points to as its home. Look closely at one and you will notice the tail is not white the way a cottontail’s is. It is a soft blue-gray, which is exactly why some folks around here call them bluetails.
We are rather delighted by that. South Carolina has had a blue-tailed rabbit in its marshes the whole time. Our Holland Lops for sale in South Carolina simply carry their blue somewhere you cannot possibly miss it.
Is there room in your family for one of these little angels?
