Sweet Huckleberry Farm is a small family rabbitry in Shelton, Washington. We raise Mini Plush Lops, a rare lop-eared rabbit with a velvet rex coat, from lines imported from Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
A Mini Plush Lop is a small lop-eared rabbit with a rex coat, the short, dense fur that feels like velvet. Ours usually mature at 3.5 to 5.5 pounds. It is a young, rare breed that is not yet recognized by ARBA, and families keep it as a friendly, snuggly pet.
We started with USA Plush Lops but have now switched to only including 100% imported rabbits at all phases in our rabbitry. Our lines come from rabbits imported from Luxembourg and the Netherlands. We’ve imported 7 ourselves, and we also love working closely with other importers.
By limiting ourselves to rabbits bred by some of the top breeders in the world, we have been able to build on their work instead of starting all over to assemble the perfect rabbit.
Not yet. Mini Plush Lops cannot be shown in most ARBA classes until the breed is recognized. Some ARBA shows have a pet class where they fit well.
Does my rabbit come with a pedigree?
We pass on everything we know. A rabbit pedigree is a written record of three generations, with names, ear tags and colors. There is no registry for Mini Plush Lops, and some of our imported rabbits arrived without complete pedigrees because that is not a primary concern in Europe.
Do you offer a health guarantee?
All rabbits are sold as-is. If you need to see another angle or have questions before you buy, just ask. If you find an issue later, please reach out so we can learn along with you.
Can you deliver outside Washington?
Yes. Our flight nanny service reaches most airports in the contiguous 48 states that Alaska Airlines flies to. It costs $300 plus airfare, and additional rabbits fly free.
How does the waitlist work?
Email or text us with what you are hoping for: pet or breeder, buck or doe, color, shy or bold. We will write when a rabbit fits. Joining the waitlist is free. When a rabbit fits, we hold it for you for 48 hours while you decide.
Are Mini Plush Lops good for people with allergies?
Often, yes. They have a velvety, lower-allergy rex coat. I am allergy-prone and do well with them, but everyone is different. If you can, spend time with a Mini Plush Lop before you bring one home, to see whether it triggers your allergies.
