The reply to this is not really. There are a couple of things you have to remember with rabbits but in general their attention is the same as some other bunnies. Below are a few things you have to watch out for: * Dwarf bunnies can often be a lot more strung and more difficult to deal with the larger breeds. And, while there are always exceptions to the rule, generally they actually need more space and exercise than a bigger rabbit. * Simply because of their small size, dwarf bunnies look just like prey to dogs and cats, specially to dogs like terriers that are carefully bred to hunt and kill rats and also bunnies. You may be best to contemplate selecting a larger rabbit if you've a dog or cat inside your home. * While it isn't an established scientific fact, numerous dwarf owners feel their dwarf bunnies have a more fragile digestive system. While that might or might not be the case with your dwarf bunnie, you still have to be careful about the amount of food you feed your bunny. Dwarfs are small animals and can get obese very quickly. A portion of 'treat' food e.g.: apple for a dwarf bunnie would be about a teaspoon! * In case your cage has cable at the bottom, make sure that your dwarf bun's feet aren't so small that they can easily slip through the wire. Modify the wire to a smaller size hole or put something solid over it like newspaper or cardboard. * Netherland dwarf rabbits are considerably more vulnerable to dental difficulties because of their tiny, compact head shape as well as reduced jaw. This could mean a visit to the veterinary every month to have your rabbit teeth trimmed which may become costly.
