Why do dwarf rabbits sleep during the day?

Like all rabbits, dwarf rabbits are crepuscular, which means they're most active at dusk and dawn (and for the hours surrounding those times), and they sleep during the day, and they nap on and off overnight.


Why do you never see your rabbit sleep He never seems to sleep and when you walk in the room at anypart of the day or night he always seems to be awake?

Rabbits have a unique sleep pattern called polyphasic sleep, which means they sleep in short bursts throughout the day and night. They have an instinct to be alert and attentive, so they have periods of light sleep where they can easily wake up. Even though you may not see your rabbit sleeping, it is likely getting plenty of rest in these short intervals.

Do dwarf rabbits sleep?

My bunny does anyways.That is possible.Rabbits sleep off-and-on during the day time and overnight. They don't sleep very deeply. Rabbits don't always close their eyes when they're sleeping, so it can be tricky to know if they're awake or not.
