Winsome Holland Lops for Sale in New Jersey
Rare Blue-Eyed Whites and blue-eyed Vienna-marked Holland Lops for sale in New Jersey, from the Skylands down to the Shore.
Four pounds of rabbit, a face like a powder puff, and blue eyes that hold the light. 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 leaves with a full pedigree.
Our bunnies are handled every day from the day they are born, in a house full of ordinary racket, the vacuum, the dishes, doors, a toddler mid-tantrum, so they go home as sociable and sweet as a rabbit can be. New Jersey families choose ground or air, and pickup here is always free.
Why the eyes
Holland Lops for Sale in New Jersey, and What Makes Ours Different
Blue eyes take years to get right.
They come from the Vienna gene, which is recessive, so both parents have to carry it before a single kit can show it, and even then only a share of the litter does. That means patient pairings, season after season.
Our Holland Lops for sale in New Jersey are pedigreed, raised in the thick of everything that happens here, and fussed over from their first week. We breed for temperament first, then type, then color.

Getting home
Three ways home to New Jersey
Three ways to bring one of our Holland Lops for sale in New Jersey home, and the first one is free.
Meet in person
always open
Pickup at our home costs nothing but a day on the road. It is a long haul from the Garden State, but families do it, and Old Route 66 runs practically past our door if you want to make a holiday of the drive.
You meet your bunny, ask everything face to face, and she rides home in somebody’s lap.
Ground transport
from, route by route
Drivers coming east reach Newark, New Brunswick, and Trenton in the north and center, and Camden and the river towns in the south.
The Turnpike and Parkway towns connect quickest. The far northwest corner and the tip of the Cape 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 Jersey is easy to reach from two directions. We set up the flight and handle the arrangements.
We fly into Newark, plus Philadelphia for the southern counties. Newark sits in the middle of everything and covers North and Central Jersey with room to spare, while Philadelphia is the shorter hop for Camden, the Delaware River towns, and on down toward the Cape. 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 Jersey requires
Nothing at all. New Jersey’s import rules live in a chapter titled livestock and poultry, and the certificate requirement is written for exactly that, cattle, swine, sheep, goats, horses, deer, camelids, and poultry. A pet rabbit is none of those.
The state’s separate pet rules cover dogs and cats. Rabbits sit outside both lists, so yours comes home with no forms, no permit, and nothing to wait on.
Would you like a health certificate anyway, for your own records or because you plan to show her? Happy to arrange it. 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.
New Jersey publishes its rules through the Department of Agriculture, Division of Animal Health, which answers questions at 609-671-6400.
Before you decide
The questions we hear most
What are you promising us?
Your kit goes home thriving, handled every day, and thoroughly used to people. 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 Jersey 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 Newark and Philadelphia, and between the two, most of the state is a short drive from one or the other.
North and Central Jersey usually find Newark quickest, while the southern counties and the shore find Philadelphia. Tell us your town and we will work it out with you.
Does my rabbit need paperwork for New Jersey?
No. New Jersey’s import rules are written for livestock and poultry, and its pet rules for dogs and cats. A rabbit is on neither list, so there is nothing to file.
Flying? The airline wants a certificate regardless, and it is already inside the $650. If you plan to show her, fairs set their own rules, so ask them early and we can have it ready for $100.
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 far northwest and the lower Cape 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 Jersey
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 Jersey packs a surprising amount of farm country into a small map, and its 4-H and county fair tradition runs deep. A local all-breed 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 9
New Jersey sits at the northern tip of ARBA District 9, which runs down the mid-Atlantic through Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland toward the Carolinas. Being at the top of it puts Pennsylvania and Delaware shows within an easy drive.
Shows and fairs worth a visit
New Jersey’s county 4-H fairs fill their small-animal barns through the summer, and the New Jersey State Fair in Sussex County keeps a full rabbit division going, both fine places to spend an afternoon 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 Jersey
New Jersey asks very little of a rabbit keeper, and gives back a great deal.
Good rabbit vets are close by almost everywhere, the density that makes the state feel crowded also means help is rarely far, and spring and fall stretch out long and mild, which suits an animal in a permanent wool coat.
The catch is the middle of summer. July and August turn HOT along the coast and the Piedmont, and damp heat is the one weather a lop minds.
Indoors settles it completely. She spends the sticky stretch in the cool beside you and never notices, which is more than most of the Turnpike manages in August.
Rabbit-savvy care
Finding a good vet in New Jersey
A rabbit needs a veterinarian who sees rabbits often, and a small dense state like New Jersey makes that search easier than most.
Said plainly: I’m in Oklahoma, so none of these are clinics I’ve walked into. Call ahead, check they’re taking new rabbit patients, and make sure the fit feels right.
North Jersey
Community Animal Hospital
A Morris Plains hospital whose exotic vet is a House Rabbit Society member and keeps a whole page on rabbit care, which is a reassuring sign for the northern counties.
Central Jersey
Belle Mead Animal Hospital
An AAHA-accredited Hillsborough practice offering specialized small-mammal care from rabbits to ferrets, an easy reach for the Princeton and Somerset area.
South Jersey
Mount Laurel Animal Hospital
A leading exotic hospital near the Philadelphia line that treats rabbits and runs exotic emergency care, covering Burlington, Camden, and out toward the shore.
One more resource
Not near any of the three? The House Rabbit Society keeps a vet directory reaching across New Jersey, 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 Jersey year
New Jersey changes character across a short drive, so the plan depends a little on which New Jersey you live in. Our Holland Lops for sale in New Jersey settle in beautifully across all of it.
A handful of steady habits carries a bunny comfortably right around the calendar.
- Through July and August, go by the feels-like number rather than the thermometer, because coastal and Piedmont humidity decides how hard a day lands on a rabbit.
- Keep a rotation of frozen water bottles going all summer so a cool one is always waiting to be leaned against.
- Up in the northwest hills, check her water twice a day in January, since a bottle can freeze in a cold room while the rest of the house feels fine.
- Along the Shore, store hay up off the floor in something that closes, because salt air keeps everything faintly damp.
- Nor’easters take the power out, so keep a battery fan, spare water, and a week of hay set aside from autumn onward.

A little New Jersey history
The rabbits that hitchhiked to Maine
In 2015, wildlife biologists in Maine opened a shipment of potted plants that had come up from New Jersey and found something unexpected riding along inside: a nest of eastern cottontails. The state’s own wildlife people logged it as proof that rabbits occasionally hitchhike across the country in freight, and that this particular batch had started its journey in New Jersey.
It is a small, funny piece of natural history, and a telling one. New Jersey rabbits, it turns out, are travelers. Give one a truckload of plants and it will turn up a few states away and start a family in the shrubbery.
Our rabbits travel too, only with a great deal more comfort and paperwork. Our Holland Lops for sale in New Jersey are pedigreed, house-raised, and booked into a climate-controlled cabin rather than a crate of ferns, and they arrive knowing exactly where they came from.
Can’t wait to bring one of these precious babies home?
