Bunnies can make wonderful pets although they do require a large cage (even for the dwarfs) at least seven square feet per rabbit is ideal and larger is better, and its best to get them neutered or spayed, they can get rather aggressive if you dont once they reach sexual maturity and it greatly reduces the chances of cancer in the females which is extrememly high. You also have to remember that they can live to be 10+ years so it is a big commitiment. For their care they need their cage cleaned about twice a week, litter box scooped daily, pellets twice a day, access to Timothy hay constantly (this is a must, if they do not have constant access to this they can develop GI stasis as well as other problems, 1/4-1/2 cup fresh veggies daily and of course fresh water, please remember NEVER use cedar and pine not only on rabbits but all small animals, it causes horrible resperitory infections as well as liver damage. Almost all other beddings are safe including Carefresh and Aspen. Rabbits also need toys, cat balls with bells, large hanging parrot toys small wicker baskets or commercially made rabbit toys all work well as do slinkies and phone books. Rabbits do need at least an hour out every night and more is better and they do need to be supervised because they are chewers, they will chew through electrical cords which could potentially kill them, basebords, furniture, baskets or pretty much anything that is out. Also although most do like to be petted most do not like to be picked up or carried and are much happier coming up to you and sitting beside you or sometimes jumping on you.
