Precious Holland Lops for Sale in Oklahoma
Blue-eyed white Holland Lops and Vienna Holland Lops for sale in Oklahoma, raised right here in the Tulsa area, ready to meet you!
Well, hello there, neighbor.
We're in Sapulpa, a small Route 66 town just outside Tulsa, and we hand raise our blue-eyed Holland Lops from birth.
We're an American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) registered rabbitry raising the rare Blue-Eyed Whites and the blue-eyed Vienna-marked kind in colorful coats, blue, chocolate, harlequin. Every kit is handled daily from its first week for the sweetest temperament possible.
Holland Lops for Sale in Oklahoma, and What Makes Ours Different
The difference is right there in the eyes.
Our rabbit's blue eyes come from the Vienna gene, scarce because folding it into a sound, healthy line takes years of careful pairings. It shows up in snowy Blue-Eyed Whites and in colorful coats alike.
Possibly more important to you than that distinctive look, we breed and socialize for the most wonderful disposition a bunny can have. We handle our babies every single day from birth onward to ensure it.

Getting home
Two ways home, and the first one is the best
Since we're right here in Oklahoma, most families simply come to us. Pickup is free, always.
Meet in person
same day
This is the one we'd choose. Come to Sapulpa, just off Route 66 outside Tulsa, ask every question you've got, and drive home with a precious little lap passenger.
Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Broken Arrow, Norman, Muskogee, Stillwater, the whole heart of the state is an easy drive. Meetups and pickup are free.
Ground transport
for the far corners
Way out in the Panhandle, or down in the far southeast toward Idabel? A ground transporter can carry your kit your way instead.
Rates begin at $125. You book the run, the arrangement stays in your hands, and if you need help, we can point you to the drivers we trust. No need to fly a rabbit inside Oklahoma, so we don't bother with air here at all.
A first wellness visit with a rabbit-savvy vet is always a smart move for a new bunny, and there are good ones below. That part is your choice, though, not a requirement. Nothing stands between you and bringing your rabbit home.
Every kit still leaves us with its pedigree in hand and plenty of transition pellets, so the only real paperwork you'll carry home is the family tree.
Good questions
Questions Oklahoma families ask
Do I need a health certificate to buy a rabbit in Oklahoma?
No. Health certificates are for crossing state lines, and an in-state sale never crosses one. There's no permit or paperwork to file. A first vet wellness check is a nice idea, but it's optional, not required.
How do I reserve the bunny I want?
It's simple. There are two ways to reserve your bunny. First is the easiest. Go to the link above, add the bunny you want to your cart and check out. The second option: Sign our sales policy, send us a copy of that signed paperwork, send a deposit (our sales policy notes ways to send payment) and message me on Facebook, Instagram or at hello@rhythmandbleu.co and I will mark your rabbit as reserved and we will setup pickup arrangements.
What if I'm way out in the Panhandle?
Then a ground transporter is your friend. From Guymon or Boise City it's a long drive to Tulsa, so a driver can bring your kit out to you instead. Rates start at $125, you book the run, and we can help point you in the right direction if you need help.

Clubs and shows in Oklahoma
Statewide
Oklahoma State Rabbit Breeders Association

The honest ups and downs
Owning a Holland Lop in Oklahoma
You already know the Oklahoma weather, so we won't sugarcoat it.
The winters are mild enough to be easy on a rabbit in a permanent fur coat, and the state has a deep rabbit culture with an active association, a big Tulsa show scene, and solid exotic vets in both metros. Most of the year, this is fine rabbit country.
The season that asks for a real plan is the one every Oklahoman braces for: summer. Heat stacked on humidity, plus the wind that bakes rather than cools, is the one weather a lop truly cannot handle on its own.
Indoors settles it completely. An Oklahoma lop living in the house rides out August in the air conditioning, close to its people, unbothered by the worst July afternoon. Your living room is the finest rabbit country in the state.
Rabbit-savvy care
Finding a good vet in Oklahoma
A rabbit is an exotic patient, not a cat or a dog, so it's worth lining up a rabbit-savvy vet before you ever need one. Both metros are well covered.
Tulsa
Forest Trails Animal Hospital
A long-established Tulsa practice, running since 1983, that treats rabbits and exotics alongside dogs and cats, with a deep bench of experience and ties to the avian and exotic veterinary associations.
Oklahoma City
Neel Veterinary Hospital
A 24/7 hospital with dedicated exotics veterinarians, advanced imaging, and the RHDV2 rabbit vaccine on hand. For exotic cases, call ahead so an exotics doctor is on duty.
Two quick questions
Anywhere else in the state
Call a clinic and ask two things: do they see rabbits regularly, and would they handle a rabbit spay or neuter. Two confident yeses and you've found your practice.
A cozy note on these picks
These come from the rabbit community's own vet lists and each clinic says plainly that it treats rabbits. Give them a call, confirm they're taking new bunny patients, and trust your own read on whether the fit feels right. The House Rabbit Society keeps a directory too.
Beating the heat
Caring for a Holland Lop through an Oklahoma summer
Any honest page about Holland Lops for sale in Oklahoma has to say a straight word about summer. Between the heat, the humidity, and that hot south wind, an Oklahoma July is the one stretch of the year a wool-coated rabbit truly minds. The plan is simple, it just has to be real, and the rest of the year takes care of itself.
A handful of summer habits keeps an Oklahoma lop comfortable straight through to the first cool front.
- Keep the rabbit indoors in air conditioning through the worst of it; a wool coat and a 100-degree afternoon do not mix.
- Go by the feels-like number, because the humidity, not the thermometer alone, decides how hard a day lands on a rabbit.
- Keep frozen water bottles cycling through the freezer all summer so a cold one is always ready to sprawl against.
- Mind the wind. A hot south wind dries a rabbit out rather than cooling it, so shade and fresh water matter even on a breezy day.
- Keep a storm-season plan for the bunny too: a battery fan and a cooler of ice packs in case the power drops in a summer storm.
Keeping a rabbit outdoors? Indoors is always safest in an Oklahoma summer, but a hutch rabbit can be kept comfortable through the heat with a little extra effort.
- Keep the hutch in deep, all-day shade, and shade or insulate the roof so it is not soaking up sun.
- Stock it with frozen water bottles to lean against and a chilled ceramic or stone tile in the shade to stretch out on.
- Move air past the hutch with a fan, positioned to circulate rather than blow straight at the rabbit.
- Cool the ears, not the body, with a cloth dampened in cool water, since the ears shed most of a rabbit's heat. Never dunk a hot rabbit in cold water, which can send it into shock.
- Learn the heatstroke signs, fast shallow breathing, lethargy, drooling, or red hot ears, and on a red-flag day, bring the rabbit inside to the air conditioning.

A little Oklahoma history
The landlocked state that built its own blue water
Here's something people forget about a state with no coastline: Oklahoma is one of the most water-rich places in the country, and it made nearly all of it on purpose. Through the dam-building decades of the last century, the state raised up more than two hundred lakes and over a million surface acres of water, almost none of it natural. Grand Lake, Tenkiller, Keystone right here by Tulsa, that deep reservoir blue was engineered, one dam at a time, by people who decided a dry state deserved some water.
We have a soft spot for that, because a blue-eyed Holland Lop is the same kind of thing: a rare blue that doesn't just happen, but is bred for on purpose, one careful pairing at a time. Oklahoma made its own blue water. We raise the blue that looks back at you from a nest box. And you, lucky thing, live close enough to come see exactly where it began.
Oklahoma built its own blue on purpose. So did we, and ours fits in your lap.
