First answer: No, I shouldn't think so dwarf/pygmy bunnies are especially hard to take care of.

More info:

Dwarf bunnies aren't any harder to care for than other pet bunnies, although they do tend to be a bit more energetic and live slightly longer lives than larger breeds.

Rabbits are not the easiest pet to care for. Many people get their children a rabbit as a starter pet or easy pet, and this is a mistake. Rabbits need as much attention as a dog (because they are social animals), and as much clean-up as a cat (because they go to the washroom inside). Rabbits also have very unique needs, which means you have to do a lot of research about them. Rabbits also need vet care just like cats and dogs do.

See the related question below about how to care for a rabbit. It applies to dwarfs as well as all pet rabbit breeds.

Pygmy and dwarf rabbits are not the same thing. Pygmy rabbits are a species of wild rabbit. Dwarf rabbits are a breed of pet rabbit and a completely different species.
