Hi John...you would need to use a pet transport service in order to ship a live animal. Depending on where the rabbit would be shipped to and how much it weighs will determine the fees as well.
Here are some pet transport service agencies:

You'd have to ship as a live animal on an airline. The rates vary from airline to airline. They usually rate up to 50 or 100 lbs (I think) and it can be $150 and up since you need health certificates for each rabbit, food and water, a carrier w/ a solid top, and any gas mileage the shipper (if you're on the receiving end) want for driving to the airport.
It costs almost the same to ship one as it does 10, if you pack them up right. It's ridiculously expensive for most airlines. Frontier is the cheapest at $75 (I think, you'd have to check w/ them).

No! Lol, unless you buy a live rabbit that you would like dead before it gets to you. Poor bunny! Usually you ship pets with planes. There are some horror stories about that, especially with dogs, because the cargo hold is basically made for CARGO, not living things. But that'd be the way to go.

I don't think it is legal to 'ship' live animals. You could hire a delivery service that specializes in animals if there is such a thing, but the local post office won't take a boxed up rabbit LOL

Well I would probably contact you local carrier and just ask them. But I am guessing an envelope is out of the question. :)

A courier might do it...? That's all I've got.
