How do you look after dwarf lop eared rabbits?

Answer 1

Dwarf rabbits need all the same things as other pet rabbits, although sometimes adjustments need to be made for their size (for example, a dwarf rabbit might be able to squeeze through bars that a bigger rabbit couldn't; also, dwarf rabbits shouldn't eat as much food as bigger rabbits).

See the related question below for more details and lots of helpful links about how to care for rabbits. Anything you read about pet rabbits applies to dwarf rabbits, too.

Rabbits need lots of care. You should change their water everyday and serve food 2 times a day. You should pet them and they also need to be groomed every few days. Pet rabbits need to be joined to your local vet and be vacinated for diseases 1 time every 6 months for one disease, and the other disease only once a year. Rabbits need lots of love and they need exercise so their run should be 6ft by 3ft and their house 6ft-2ft-2ft. Rabbits need the same exercise as a dog.

If the baby dwarf hamsters still have a mother, the best thing to do is to just let them be and not handle them. Also make sure the mother has enough food and water so she can take care of her babies.

Answer 4

Dwarf lop-eared rabbits should be looked after like all pet rabbits. See the related questions (below) for more details.

As a summary: They need to be fed twice a day with a bowl of pellets and a bowl of vegetables. They should have access to hay (dry grass) at all times, 24/7. Hay is what rabbits eat more than anything else. Rabbits shouldn't receive any veggies until they are at least 3 months old. They also need a drinking bottle to be attached to their cage and it should always have water in it. The rabbit also needs something to chew on to help file its teeth down. Hay is the main thing that helps file rabbits teeth down, but they might like other things as well, like apple wood or willow wood sticks.

Note: *Not all vegetables are safe for rabbits to eat!* Avoid celery and iceberg lettuce. Some vegetables might give your rabbit diarrhea so introduce them slowly. Fruit should only really be given as a treat.

It's best to let your rabbit out of its cage for some exercise every day. You should never bathe your rabbit unless it is really dirty. If that's the case then you should only fill the bath tub with a very small amount of water (maybe an inch) and be very gentle. Generally speaking, they do a fine job of cleaning themselves. If your rabbit is really dirty, something is wrong! Depending on the problem, you should fix the rabbit's habitat so they can't get dirty again, or you should bring the rabbit to a vet. When the rabbit is moulting (shedding fur) you should brush her every day so that she doesn't eat too much of it. (Unlike cats, rabbits can't throw up the fur they consume while grooming, so if they eat too much that will lead to a gastric blockage).

Rabbits are great! Just one piece of advice, don't keep your rabbit permanently out of its cage because then it doesn't get used to you and may become a bit wild. They're much friendlier when they get used to being petted and handled.

Answer 5

Dwarf bunnies need the same care as all pet rabbits; the only difference is that when you're setting up furniture, toys, play areas, and bunny-proofing, you have to remember that a dwarf bunny is extra-small.
