Radiant Holland Lops for Sale in New Hampshire
Rare Blue-Eyed Whites and blue-eyed Vienna-marked Holland Lops for sale in New Hampshire, from the Seacoast up to the White Mountains.
Round faces, velvet ears, and blue eyes you can see clear through. These are the rabbits 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 a full pedigree goes home with every kit.
Kits grow up in the middle of the house and are handled every day from birth, through the vacuum and the dishes and the odd toddler meltdown, so they come to you used to household noise and sweet as a rabbit can be. New Hampshire families bring one home by ground or by air, and pickup here is always free.
Why the eyes
Holland Lops for Sale in New Hampshire, and What Makes Ours Different
Blue eyes are the part that takes the most work.
They come from the Vienna gene, and Vienna is recessive. Both parents have to carry it before a single kit can show it, only a share of any litter does, and getting there takes years of patient pairings.
Our Holland Lops for sale in New Hampshire come pedigreed, brought up in the middle of everything this household does, and handled with plenty of affection every day. We breed for temperament first, then type, then color.

Getting home
Three ways home to New Hampshire
Three ways to bring one of our Holland Lops for sale in New Hampshire home, and the first one is free.
Meet in person
always open
Pickup at our home costs nothing but the drive. It is a proper haul from New England, but families do it, and Old Route 66 runs practically past our door if you want to make a road trip of it.
You meet your bunny, ask everything face to face, and she rides home in somebody’s lap.
Ground transport
from, route by route
Drivers running this far northeast reach Nashua, Manchester, and Concord, with the Seacoast towns on the eastern side.
The I-93 and I-95 towns connect quickest. The North Country and the Great North Woods ask a little more patience. Transporters keep fixed calendars, and the wait is 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 New Hampshire has good options close at hand. We set up the flight and handle the arrangements.
We fly into Manchester, plus Boston and Portland just over the borders. Manchester sits right in the middle of the state, Boston is the short hop for the southern tier and offers the most flights, and Portland covers the Seacoast and the eastern North Country. 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 New Hampshire requires
New Hampshire likes a health certificate, and that is the whole of it. The state asks that animals coming in travel with a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection, a CVI, and its rules are written broadly enough to include a pet rabbit. It is a small errand, and exactly the sort of detail we like to take off your plate.
We book the appointment, handle the exam, and have the certificate in hand before your kit travels, all for $100. A CVI stays valid for 30 days, so we time it to your trip and leave you nothing to chase down.
If your kit flies, the airline asks for that certificate regardless, so it is already folded into the $650, with nothing extra to arrange.
New Hampshire publishes its rules through the Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food, Division of Animal Industry, reachable at 603-271-2404.
The practical bits
Common questions
What are you promising us?
Your kit goes home well socialized, sturdy, and used to being handled every day. 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 sound as any Holland on a show table.
Our Holland Lops for sale in New Hampshire are pedigreed and handled every day from birth, so they leave here as sociable and sweet as a rabbit can be.
Which airport should we use?
Whichever is closest. We fly into Manchester, Boston, and Portland, which between them put nearly all of New Hampshire within an easy drive.
Manchester suits the middle of the state, Boston is quickest for the southern towns, and Portland is the short run for the Seacoast and the east. Tell us where you are and we will sort it with you.
Does my rabbit need paperwork for New Hampshire?
A little, and we handle it. New Hampshire asks that animals entering the state carry a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection, so we arrange one for $100 and time it to your travel, since it stays valid for 30 days.
Flying? That certificate is required by the airline anyway, so it is already inside the $650, with nothing extra for you to do.
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 North Country 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 New Hampshire
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
New Hampshire’s fair and 4-H tradition runs from the Connecticut River valley to the Seacoast, and a local all-breed club is the fastest road to a mentor, a show table, and someone who will answer the phone when you have a question.
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 7
New Hampshire belongs to ARBA District 7, the New England district, which pulls together all six New England states and New York. Tucked in the middle of it, you are rarely more than a short drive from a sanctioned show.
Shows and fairs worth a visit
New Hampshire’s agricultural fairs keep their small-animal barns busy through the autumn, from Deerfield to Hopkinton to Sandwich, and they are fine places to spend a day talking rabbits with people who keep them.
For sanctioned rabbit shows near you, the ARBA club search keeps the current list.
The ups and downs
Owning a Holland Lop in New Hampshire
New Hampshire suits a house rabbit well, with one season to plan around.
Spring, summer, and fall are close to ideal for an animal in a permanent wool coat, and the state’s deep fair and 4-H culture means a new rabbit family finds help and friends quickly.
The catch is the cold. A New Hampshire winter is long and hard, and up north the snow piles high and the nights drop well below zero.
Indoors solves all of it. A lop passes a Manchester January or a Berlin cold snap in the same warm room as the family, entirely comfortable, while the woodstove does the rest.
Rabbit-savvy care
Finding a good vet in New Hampshire
A rabbit needs a veterinarian who sees rabbits often, and New Hampshire is better supplied than a small state has any right to be.
Being in Oklahoma, I am nowhere near these clinics and have not met any of these vets face to face. Call ahead, check they’re taking new rabbit patients, and make sure the fit feels right.
Central, and the specialist
Exotic and Bird Clinic of New England
Run out of the Hopkinton and Weare animal hospitals near Concord, this exotic practice has a board-certified exotic-mammal veterinarian and more than thirty years with rabbits, the closest thing to a specialist the state offers.
Southern New Hampshire
All Pets Veterinary Hospital
A Nashua hospital that treats rabbits right alongside the rest, down to the dental work rabbits so often need, and handy for the whole southern tier.
The Seacoast
Greenland Veterinary Hospital
Just outside Portsmouth, this clinic sees rabbits and other small mammals and handles rabbit dental care, an easy reach for the whole Seacoast.
One more resource
Not near any of the three? The House Rabbit Society keeps a vet directory reaching across New Hampshire, maintained by people who take their own rabbits to the clinics they list. Your county 4-H rabbit leader is worth an ask too, since they always know which vet the show families call first.
Seasonal care
Caring for a Holland Lop through a New Hampshire year
New Hampshire’s calendar has real edges to it, and the plan follows the season more than the map. Our Holland Lops for sale in New Hampshire settle in beautifully once the routine covers winter and summer both.
A handful of steady habits carries a bunny comfortably right around the calendar.
- Through the long winter, check her water twice a day, since a bottle can freeze solid in a cold room while the house still feels perfectly fine to you.
- Keep her settled spot away from both the woodstove and the drafty door, because steady and mild always beats warm and swinging.
- Mud season is damp and raw, so store hay up off the floor in something that closes and keep her bedding dry.
- Come the muggy stretch of August, go by the feels-like number and keep a rotation of frozen water bottles ready for her to lean against.
- Ice storms and nor’easters take the power out here, so keep spare water, warm blankets, and a battery fan set aside for a long dark evening.

A little New Hampshire history
The hare that dresses for winter
Up in the White Mountains lives a rabbit cousin that does something no Holland ever has to. The snowshoe hare trades its brown summer coat for pure winter white, then back again, twice a year, every year of its life.
Here is the strange part. The switch is set by the length of the day, not the cold or the snow. The hare begins turning white by the calendar, which means that in a thin, late winter it can end up gleaming against bare brown ground, the most conspicuous thing in the forest. Biologists in New Hampshire’s White Mountains track these mismatched hares season after season.
Our Blue-Eyed Whites are spared all that trouble. Our Holland Lops for sale in New Hampshire< are born white and stay white, with blue eyes to match, no calendar to keep and no season they fall out of step with.
