Dwarf rabbits need the same vaccinations as all pet rabbits. What vaccinations are required for your pet rabbit depends on where you live.

In many parts of North America, however, no vaccinations are required (or even available) for rabbits at all. Contact a local pet rabbit organization or a "rabbit-savvy" vet to find out what vaccinations are required for rabbits in your area.

Silver Martin rabbits live for just as long as other pet rabbits. Pet rabbits have an average lifespan of 8 to 10 years, although many live to 11 or 12, and some even live to 13 and 14.
You've got it backwards. The question is why do we call rabbits bunnies. Rabbit is the name of the animal. A long time ago, people used to call their sweethearts "bunny," and that pet name somehow got transferred to pet rabbits as well.
