The Lops at Little Flat Creek has helped families across the United States welcome one of our Holland Lops home. Whether you're just a few hours away or across the country, bringing home one of our bunnies is easier than you may think.
We work with several trusted transportation providers to safely deliver our bunnies, and the options below will help you choose the service that's the best fit for your family.
๐ Local Pickup in Knoxville, TN
We warmly welcome all new bunny families to pick up their Holland Lop in person at our farm just outside Knoxville, Tennessee. It's a wonderful opportunity to meet us, ask any last-minute questions, and begin your bunny's journey home with confidence. If you're making the trip from out of town, East Tennessee offers countless opportunities to turn your bunny pickup into a fun family adventure, including, Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg which is less than an hour from us.
๐ Shared Ground Transport
Our Shared Ground Transport option is one of the most popular and affordable ways to bring your new bunny home. Your bunny travels with a trusted, USDA-compliant pet transporter (depending on the carrier) along a scheduled route with other rabbits and small pets. Transporters carefully coordinate multiple pickups and deliveries throughout their journey, allowing families across the country to receive their bunny at a reasonable cost.
Appx Cost: $150 (may vary by transporter and distance)
Estimated Delivery Time: Most deliveries are completed within 3–7 days, depending on the route and scheduled stops.
Pros
โ Budget-friendly
โ Trusted, experienced transporters
โ Climate-controlled vehicles (when provided by the transporter)
โ Available in many areas nationwide
Things to Consider
- Pickup locations and times are determined by the transporter's route and schedule.
- Because multiple rabbits and small animals may be traveling together, your bunny may have limited exposure to other transported pets.
๐ Door-to-door Private Transport
For families who prefer the most personalized travel experience, Door-to-Door Private Transport offers direct delivery from our rabbitry to your home. Your bunny travels with a dedicated driver in a personal vehicle. This option provides a more flexible schedule, fewer stops, and extra one-on-one attention throughout the journey.
