Dwarf rabbits need the same vaccinations as all pet rabbits.

What vaccinations are required for your pet rabbit depends on where you live. In the UK, rabbits require two vaccinations: one against Myxomatosis and the other against VHD (Viral Hemorrhagic Disease). there should be two weeks between the administration of these vaccinations. 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.

What kinds of rabbits stay small?

any dwarf rabbits such as norwegian dwarf, netherland dwarf, dwarf lop, dutch are slightly larger but smaller than medium sized rabbits, polish rabbits. dont think about... flemish giants, giant rexes. remember there are always exceptions to the rule (meaning that my friends dwarf rabbit is HUGE) and all rabbits are small and cute as babies so think about an adult rabbit (a shelter is a great place to find a loveable bunny in need)


Why do rabbits need big areas?

Rabbits need big areas to live in because there are many rabbits in one area at a time, and the rabbits need space to reproduce and they are going to need space for their young rabbits.


Are lop eared bunnies hard to look after?

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.


What do dwarf bunnies eat?

Rabbits of all types, small or large, should have the bulk of their diet consist of hay. A very small portion of a commercial pelleted mix from the pet store can be added to this, but no more than 1/4 cup per day. Fresh veggies daily are always a good idea!


Do rabbits like to live alone or with other rabbits?

Rabbits are social animals: they enjoy company, and they benefit from living with other rabbits. However, you can't just throw two or more rabbits together and expect them to get along. Rabbits might love or hate each other for individual reasons, just like humans. And if rabbits aren't spayed/neutered, they're very likely to either fight or breed. Never let rabbits fight: not only can it lead to physical injury (even a small cut can turn into a big abscess, and a bad fight can be fatal), but fighting is emotionally damaging for rabbits (leading to behavioural problems down the road). Think long and hard before letting your rabbits breed: after all, there are many rabbits in shelters waiting to be adopted, and many of those shelters kill their rabbits if they aren't adopted in time, so does the world really need your rabbit to breed? Before they can live together, rabbits must be "bonded," which means they love each other and can be trusted not to fight. The bonding process can take a long time and require a lot of patience. See the related question below for more details about bonding. A rabbit doesn't need to live with other rabbits in order to be happy, but a single rabbit does need a lot of attention from it's human companions. Rabbits are social animals and they need social interaction every day.

Honestly, all you need is a cage, water bottle, and food.
