Captivating Holland Lops for Sale in Virginia
Rare Blue-Eyed Whites and blue-eyed Vienna-marked Holland Lops for sale in Virginia, from the Blue Ridge across to the Chesapeake.
Ears folded soft, a round face full of cheek, and blue eyes right in the middle of it. That is the rabbit we raise.
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 every kit leaves with a full pedigree.
They are handled from birth, every day, in a house that stays loud and busy, the vacuum, the dishes, doors, a toddler mid-tantrum, so they go home as sociable and sweet as a rabbit can be. Virginia families choose ground or air, and pickup here is always free.
Why the eyes
Holland Lops for Sale in Virginia, and What Makes Ours Different
Blue eyes are the scarce thing in this breed.
They come from the Vienna gene, which is recessive, so both parents have to carry it before a single kit can show it. Only a share of any litter does, and reaching that point takes years of patient pairings.
Our Holland Lops for sale in Virginia come pedigreed, raised in the middle of a loud and busy home, and cooed over from morning to night. We breed for temperament first, then type, then color.

Getting home
Three ways home to Virginia
Three ways to bring one of our Holland Lops for sale in Virginia home, and the first one is free.
Meet in person
always open
Pickup at our home costs nothing but the drive. Families do make a trip of it, 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 follow the Shenandoah Valley up through Bristol, Roanoke, Staunton, and Harrisonburg.
The I-81 and I-64 towns connect quickest, Roanoke, Lynchburg, Charlottesville, Richmond. Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore ask a little 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. We set up the flight and handle the arrangements. We fly into Richmond, Norfolk, Newport News, Roanoke, and, for Northern Virginia, Washington Dulles and Reagan National. That covers the Valley, the capital, the coast, and the DC suburbs, all within an easy drive. Routes do shift from time to time, so we confirm your airport together when you book.
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 Virginia requires
Virginia keeps this simple for a pet coming home to its family. The Commonwealth writes its pet rules around why an animal is entering rather than what species it happens to be, and its own exemptions cover a bunny joining your household.
The paperwork rules are aimed at animals brought in to be offered for sale, adoption, or trade once they arrive. Yours is already yours.
Want a health certificate anyway, purely for peace of mind? Happy to arrange it. Virginia works on a 10-day window rather than the usual thirty, so the timing matters, and that is exactly the sort of detail we like to take off your plate. We’ll book the appointment and get everything lined up and in order for $100.
If your kit flies, the airline asks for a certificate regardless, and that one is already folded into the $650.
Virginia publishes its admission requirements through the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and its Office of Veterinary Services answers questions at 804-786-2483.
Good to know
Questions we hear from Virginia
What are you promising us?
Your kit goes home in fine condition, thriving 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 bring health trouble?
Not a bit. Vienna is a color gene and color is the whole of its work, the coat and the eyes, and the rabbit underneath is as sturdy as any Holland on a show table.
Our Holland Lops for sale in Virginia are pedigreed and handled every day from birth, so they leave here as sociable and sweet as a rabbit can be.
Does my rabbit need paperwork for Virginia?
Not for a pet joining your family. Virginia’s pet rules turn on why an animal is entering, and the requirements are written for animals brought in to be resold or adopted out once they arrive.
Flying? The airline wants a certificate regardless, and it is already inside the $650. For ground or pickup, we can arrange one for $100 if you would simply rather have it in hand.
Which airport should we use?
Whichever is closest to your kitchen table. We fly into Richmond, Norfolk, Newport News, Roanoke, plus Washington Dulles and Reagan National, so the Valley, the capital, the Peninsula, Hampton Roads, and Northern Virginia are all covered.
Tell us your town and we will tell you the shortest drive. Routes change now and again, so we confirm it together before anything is booked.
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.
Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore 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.

Clubs and shows in Virginia
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
Virginia’s county fair and 4-H tradition keeps youth rabbit projects going from the mountains to the Tidewater, 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
Virginia falls inside ARBA District 9, which gathers up the mid-Atlantic: the Carolinas, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Washington D.C. A show is rarely far away.
Shows and fairs worth a visit
The State Fair of Virginia at Meadow Event Park fills its livestock and 4-H barns every fall, and county fairs across the Commonwealth 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 Virginia
Virginia sits right on the seam of the country’s weather, and that shapes rabbit keeping here more than anything else.
Spring and fall stretch out long and kind, which is about as pleasant as it gets for an animal in a permanent wool coat, and the Commonwealth’s fair and 4-H culture runs deep enough that a new rabbit family finds help quickly.
The catch is that Virginia gives you both ends of the calendar. July arrives heavy and humid, and January can turn bitterly cold, sometimes with ice rather than snow.
Indoors handles both without fuss. A Virginia lop passes the muggy weeks and the icy ones in the same comfortable room, near its people, entirely unbothered by either.
Rabbit-savvy care
Finding a good vet in Virginia
A rabbit needs a veterinarian who sees rabbits often, and not every clinic does.
Worth saying: I am out in Oklahoma and have not walked into any of these clinics 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.
Blacksburg
Companion Animal Clinic
Serving the New River Valley since 1974 and the town’s only AAHA-accredited hospital, this practice lists rabbits directly among the exotic pets it treats. One of its veterinarians teaches pocket pet medicine at the veterinary college and says outright that bunnies are his favorite patients.
Everywhere else
Two quick questions
Around Richmond, Hampton Roads, or Northern Virginia, 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.
Statewide
The directory route
The House Rabbit Society keeps a vet directory reaching across Virginia, maintained 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.
Seasonal care
Caring for a Holland Lop through a Virginia year
Virginia asks you to plan for both ends of the thermometer, which most states never do. Our Holland Lops for sale in Virginia handle all of it comfortably once the plan covers summer and winter both.
A handful of steady habits carries a bunny comfortably right around the calendar.
- Through summer, trust the feels-like number over the thermometer, because Virginia humidity decides how hard a day lands on a rabbit well before the temperature does.
- Keep a rotation of frozen water bottles going all season so a cool one is always waiting to be leaned against.
- Come January, check her water twice a day, since a bottle can freeze solid while the room still feels perfectly fine to you.
- Ice storms here take the power out more often than snow does, so keep a battery fan, spare water, and warm blankets set aside for a long dark evening.
- Give her a settled spot away from both the woodstove and the drafty door, because steady and mild always beats warm and swinging.
For deeper reading, Virginia Cooperative 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 Virginia history
A rabbit in every county
Virginia’s wildlife people put it plainly: the eastern cottontail lives in every single county of the Commonwealth. Mountains, Piedmont, Tidewater, all of it. If you spot a rabbit crossing a Virginia lawn at dusk, that is almost certainly who you are looking at.
Virginia counts two others besides. The Appalachian cottontail keeps to the western highlands, and down in the Dismal Swamp there is a marsh rabbit that would rather swim than run. But the cottontail is the one everybody knows, so thoroughly ordinary that most Virginians quit noticing years ago.
Which is rather the point of what we do. Rabbits are not rare in Virginia. Blue eyes are. Our Holland Lops for sale in Virginia are pedigreed, house-raised, and carry the one thing you will never see hopping across the yard.
