It mainly depends on the temperament of the rabbit and how 'mature' your young child is. I have found that, although a little larger, the sweet tempered and calm Havana Rabbit is better suited to be a pet for a young child. Of course all live animals should be supervised when in the care of a child.

Are dwarf bunnies friendly?
I have a male Netherland Dwarf and he's very friendly. He's still very young (4 months) so he generally won't just hop into my lap and sit. All of the dwarfs are very excitable; meaning that they love to run around. They're also very curious. This is how the breed is as a whole. It can vary from rabbit to rabbit, however.
Which breed of rabbit is the friendliest?
I have found that the french lop or the dwarf lop female rabbits are the friendliest especially if it is for a child. netherland dwarfs can be aggressive but it all depends on how old they are when you start handling them and how much you handle them. i had a netherland dwarf as a child and he was very aggressive he used to growl and jump forward at you everytime you went to feed him or clean him out but he lived with a dwarf lop and she was the friendliest rabbit you could ever want she loved people she was a bit like a puppy really lol
Is guinea pigs or dwarf rabbit better with young kids?
i think that dwarf rabbits are the best because they dont bite unless you phisicly do something mean or hurtful to them but i think they are cool
Why do dwarf rabbits bite?
Dwarf rabbits by sheer cause of breeding are very small timid animals they are always being hurt or dropped by young children and they get tired of it so they start biting to try to protect themselves. Then again it has been my experience that dwarfs are mean little rascals with very short tempers. If I was buying a small rabbit for a young child I would not recommend this breed . I would go for a Holland Lop, Havana or Florida White which are still small but VERY even tempered.

Are Netherland Dwarf rabbits tame?
Whether a domestic animal is tame or feral has nothing to do with breed, and everything to do with individuality. A rabbit (of any breed) that has been abused or neglected, or that was raised outside by abandoned parents, will likely be feral. On the other hand, a rabbit (of any breed) that has been raised properly and socialized will likely be tame. Rabbits, especially dwarfs, need to be handled very carefully, as they are so fragile. They can be quite loving pets if they are introduced to people and petted from a young age. Like with all rabbits, as the Netherland Dwarf gets older, it is harder to get them to take well to new people if they aren't socialized. Rabbits are not as easy to care for as you might think. Like other pets that you bring into your home, they need a particular environment to become good pets. See the related links below for more info and helpful links on pet rabbits.
How can you tell the age of a dwarf rabbit and what is the difference between a dwarf rabbit and a normal rabbit?
Dwarf rabbits are basically the same as all pet rabbits, so you can tell their sex (male/female) in the same ways. It's very difficult to tell if a baby rabbit is male or female. Until the testicles descend (anywhere from 9 to 20 weeks of age), you can't tell if a rabbit is male or female. See the related question below for more details.

How do you tell if a lionhead rabbit is pregnant?
You can try to evaluate it's final size by looking at his/her ears. The longest they are, the biggest the rabbit will be when adult. A dwarf-sized rabbit, when young, should have ears about 5 cm (2 inches) long or shorter. The only real way to know if they are "dwarf" is by testing it's genome, because the term "dwarf rabbit" relates in fact to a gene called Dw, that dictates it's small size. A ordinary rabbit can be small, but size is not what makes a rabbit a dwarf : it's the gene.
