Sunny Holland Lops for Sale in Hawaii
Rare Blue-Eyed Whites and blue-eyed Vienna-marked Holland Lops for sale in Hawaii, welcomed home to every island in the chain.
A little lop with a soft round face and eyes that are truly blue. That is the whole of what we raise here.
Rhythm & Bleu is an ARBA registered rabbitry in Northeast Oklahoma near Tulsa. We raise rare Blue-Eyed Whites alongside blue-eyed Vienna-marked kits in colorful coats, blue, chocolate, harlequin, now and then finished with a white blaze. A full pedigree travels with every kit.
Our kits are handled every day from birth, accustomed to the commotion of family life and little ones, so they leave here as sweet and amiable as a rabbit can be. You can meet us in person for free, or we arrange your flight to the islands through a professional pet-relocation service, quoted per trip, with the permit and timing handled on our end.
Why the eyes
Holland Lops for Sale in Hawaii, and What Makes Ours Different
Blue eyes just scarce.
Blue eyes come by way of the Vienna gene, and Vienna is recessive. Both parents have to carry it before a single kit can show it, and even then only a share of a litter does. Years of patient pairings sit behind every blue-eyed kit.
Our Holland Lops for sale in Hawaii arrive pedigreed, raised in the middle of everything this household does, and hugged on by small hands all day long. We breed for temperament first, then type, then color.

Getting home
Two ways home to Hawaii
Two ways to bring one of our Holland Lops for sale in Hawaii home, and the first one costs nothing but the trip you were already making.
Meet in person
always open
Pickup at our home costs nothing but the travel itself. It is a long way across the water, but if you are on the mainland anyway, you are welcome to collect your kit in person and carry her onward yourself.
You meet your bunny and ask everything face to face before she ever travels.
Door-to-door flight
arranged per trip
Hawaii is a coordinated specialty move, and the happy headline is that rabbits are welcome. We run the flight through a professional pet-relocation service that ships rabbits from the West Coast into Honolulu, and we handle the state permit and the tight timing on our end.
Because the route and the season set the cost, we get you an exact quote before anything is booked, never a guess. Tell us your island and we will build the plan around it.
The permit, the health certificate, the airline-approved crate, and the Honolulu arrival are all coordinated for you. If your home is on Maui, Kauai, or the Big Island, one short inter-island hop follows once she clears Honolulu.
The paperwork
What Hawaii requires
Hawaii asks more than most, and we carry the heavy part. The islands are rabies-free and fiercely protective of it, so the rules are strict, but rabbits are welcome nonetheless.
A rabbit needs a state import permit arranged ahead of time, a health certificate signed inside a tight 72-hour window, and entry through Honolulu, where an agent brings your kit to the airport’s animal quarantine facility for a quick inspection before release. The good news underneath all of it: rabbits skip the long quarantine that dogs and cats face.
We arrange the permit, time the certificate to that 72-hour window, and work hand in hand with the shipper so your kit clears Honolulu smoothly. Every kit also leaves us ear-tattooed, which keeps her identification tidy at inspection.
Hawaii publishes its rules through the Department of Agriculture, Animal Industry Division, reachable at 808-483-7151.
Worth knowing
What island families ask
What are you promising us?
Your kit is handled every day of her life here, so she goes home about as sociable as a rabbit gets. 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 Hawaii are pedigreed and handed lap to lap every day they are here, raised right in the middle of the household.
How does the flight to Hawaii work?
We run it through a professional pet-relocation service that ships rabbits from the West Coast into Honolulu, and we coordinate the state permit and the timing from our end.
It is quoted per trip, and you will have the full plan and the full cost in hand before anything is booked.
Does my rabbit need paperwork for Hawaii?
Yes, and we carry the heavy part. Hawaii asks for a state import permit and a health certificate signed within a tight 72-hour window, with entry through Honolulu and a quick inspection at the airport’s quarantine facility.
Rabbits skip the long quarantine that dogs and cats face. We arrange the permit, time the certificate, and coordinate the Honolulu arrival so it all lines up.
Which island can you ship to?
All of them. Every rabbit clears into the state through Honolulu, so if your home is on Maui, Kauai, or the Big Island, a short inter-island flight follows once she is released.
Tell us your island and we will build the whole plan around it.

Clubs and shows in Hawaii
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
The islands keep a close-knit 4-H and small-animal fair scene, strongest on Oʻahu but alive on every island. A local club is the fastest road to a mentor, a show table, and someone who will pick up 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 2
Hawaii belongs to ARBA District 2 with California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah, the lone island group in a mainland district. The local 4-H and fair circuit keeps island rabbit folk connected, and the national ARBA convention is the once-a-year gathering worth the flight.
Shows and fairs worth a visit
Island fairs and 4-H shows keep their small-animal barns busy through the year, and they are fine places to spend a day talking rabbits with people who keep them in the same climate you do.
For sanctioned rabbit shows near you, the ARBA club search keeps the current list.
The ups and downs
Owning a Holland Lop in Hawaii
Hawaii’s gift and its one catch are the very same thing: it is warm all year.
For a rabbit in a permanent wool coat, that makes cooling a year-round habit rather than a summer chore. The trade winds help enormously, and upcountry elevations like Kula on Maui or Waimea on the Big Island run properly cool.
Down at the warm coast, the answer is simply indoors. A lop does beautifully in an air-conditioned room, out of the direct sun, with a cool tile to stretch out on.
Kept cool and comfortable inside, a Holland takes to island life happily, and she will be grateful for the same shade and breeze you reach for yourself.
Rabbit-savvy care
Finding a good vet in Hawaii
A rabbit needs a veterinarian who sees rabbits often, and the islands hold a good handful across the chain.
Worth saying plainly: I’m a whole ocean away in Oklahoma and haven’t been inside any of these clinics. Call ahead, check they’re taking new rabbit patients, and make sure the fit feels right.
Oʻahu, around the clock
Feather & Fur Animal Hospital
In Kailua, the island’s 24-hour hospital for exotics, accredited and staffed day and night, seeing rabbits alongside birds and the rest, right where your kit first lands.
Maui
Makawao Veterinary Clinic
Upcountry in Makawao, a clinic with dedicated exotic veterinarians who treat rabbits, guinea pigs, and birds, set in the cooler air a lop happens to love.
The Big Island
Kohala Veterinary Clinic
Up in North Kohala, a clinic that sees exotic animals as well as cats and dogs, a welcome option on an island where rabbit-savvy care is worth planning ahead for.
One more resource
Not near any of the three? The House Rabbit Society keeps a vet directory reaching into Hawaii, maintained by people who take their own rabbits to the clinics they list. Your island’s 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 Hawaii year
Hawaii barely keeps seasons, so the plan is about place and airflow more than the calendar. Our Holland Lops for sale in Hawaii settle in happily wherever the room stays cool.
A handful of steady habits keeps a bunny cool and content right around the calendar.
- Give her an air-conditioned or steadily breezy room, since a rabbit is far happier cool than warm and begins to struggle once the day climbs into the low eighties.
- Keep a rotation of frozen water bottles and a ceramic tile in her space year-round, so there is always something cool to stretch out against.
- Keep her out of the direct sun and go by the feels-like number, because island humidity makes a warm afternoon land harder than the thermometer lets on.
- Store hay somewhere dry and closed, since the salt air and damp will soften it quickly if it sits out open.
- If you live upcountry, you have the easiest job on the islands, so simply enjoy the cooler air she loves.

A little Hawaii history
The island named for its rabbits
Look out from the windward coast of Oʻahu, past Makapuʻu Point, and you will spot a small tuff-cone islet that everyone here calls Rabbit Island. Its Hawaiian name is Mānana, but the nickname has stuck for well over a century, and for a literal reason.
In the 1880s, a Waimānalo plantation owner named John Cummins turned a few rabbits loose out there, meaning to raise them as a hobby without letting them at his sugarcane. They did what rabbits do. A colony held on to that offshore rock for roughly a hundred years, until the 1990s, when they were removed to protect the seabirds that nest there.
So Hawaii has kept a soft spot, and a place name, for the rabbit across generations. Our Holland Lops for sale in Hawaii carry that affection forward in a far gentler form, pedigreed, hand-raised, and bound for a cool room indoors rather than a windswept islet offshore.
Dreaming of one of these precious babies stretched out on your cool tile?
