Holland Lop Price: $200–$250
Holland Lop price varies significantly based on quality, lineage, breeder reputation, and location. Most pet-quality Holland Lops from reputable breeders range from $200 to $250, with rare colors, broken patterns, and show-quality bunnies commanding higher prices. Here is a complete breakdown of what affects Holland Lop pricing and what to expect over the lifetime of ownership.
The Typical Holland Lop Price Range
At Holland Lop Hill Rabbitry, our Holland Lops range from $200 to $250, depending on color, pattern, and lineage. This pricing is consistent with what other reputable, ARBA-affiliated breeders charge across the United States.

What Makes Holland Lop Price Vary?
Color and Pattern
Common colors like solid black, broken black, or chestnut are typically priced at the lower end of the range. Rare colors and patterns like Blue Eyed White (BEW), Magpie, Sable Point, or Broken Tortoise often command $25 to $50 more.
Lineage and Pedigree
A purebred Holland Lop with documented ARBA pedigree from multiple generations of registered parents is worth more than an unpapered bunny from an unverified source. A full pedigree should be available for any Holland Lop priced over $150.
Breeder Reputation
Reputable breeders charge more because they invest in:
Show Quality vs Pet Quality
“Show quality” means the bunny meets ARBA breed standards closely enough to be competitive on the show table. These bunnies have ideal head type, ear placement, body conformation, and color. Show-quality Holland Lops are priced significantly higher than pet quality, often $300 to $500+.
“Pet quality” does not mean lower health or worse temperament. Pet-quality bunnies are simply not optimized for the show table, often due to minor color faults, pattern asymmetry, or slightly less ideal body type. They make wonderful pets and are typically every bit as affectionate and healthy as show stock.
Location and Shipping
Holland Lops in metro areas often cost more than rural breeders due to higher operating costs. Shipping adds $200 to $500 to the total cost depending on distance and carrier. Read our Nationwide Ground Transport guide for full details on shipping logistics.
Why Not Just Buy the Cheapest Holland Lop?

A cheap rabbit often ends up costing far more in vet bills and stress than a well-bred bunny would have cost upfront.
Ongoing Costs of Holland Lop Ownership
Holland Lop price is just the purchase cost. The ongoing investment includes:
Initial Setup ($150-$300)
Monthly Costs ($30-$60)
Veterinary Costs (Annual)
Lifetime Cost of a Holland Lop
Over a typical 10-year lifespan, the total cost of Holland Lop ownership ranges from $5,000 to $9,000, including initial purchase, setup, ongoing care, and veterinary expenses. That works out to roughly $40 to $75 per month over the bunny’s lifetime, a reasonable investment for a decade of companionship.
Worth Every Dollar
A well-bred, well-socialized Holland Lop becomes a true family member for 8 to 12+ years. The slightly higher purchase price for a quality bunny pays itself back many times over in temperament, health, and reduced veterinary costs.
