Re: Adopting a Dwarf Bunny Female

Caring for a rabbit is pretty much the same whatvever breed it is. They all need a spacious cage (at least 12 sq feet and 2 feet tall), companionship of another rabbit, and the same diet (hay, veggies and pellets).

Like guinea pigs, rabbits are a social species and need the company of their own kind. (Doesn't have to be the same breed though). Rather than getting another female, the best pairing for rabbits is usually one of each sex - but both the male and female must be neutered! (Female rabbits should be spayed anyway to prevent uterine cancer, which kills up to 80% of entire does by 5 years old.)

For some good rabbit info, including diet, social housing etc. check out this site (its a UK site but the info is correct) Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund
