Dwarf Bunnies require a very specific diet in order to be healthy. The food that you give to your bunnies is vital for the health of their teeth, digestive system as well as affecting their weight.
Rabbit Hay
Bunnies are grazing animals they need a constant supply of good quality hay such as Timothy hay, even if they live on a lawn, which they can graze. Hay is the most important part of your dwarf bunnies diet. Bunnies need roughage to keep their insides working correctly and to prevent blockages, as they do not have the ability to cough up hairballs in the same way as cats.

Flower & Thumper - Dwarf Bunnies Together
Dwarf bunnies, like all rabbits, are very sociable creatures and they enjoy the company of their own kind, in fact they thrive on it. A pair of ‘bonded’ bunnies will appear inseparable, in that no matter what they are doing, be it sleeping, eating, running around or just lazing in the sunshine, they will be together. One of the best things about dwarf bunnies is that their size makes it so much easier to keep them in pairs.
Why Bunnies Are Happier in Pairs:
Mutual Grooming
Bunnies need a companion to help them clean hard to reach places on the top of their heads, behind their ears and around their eyes. While mutual grooming is part of the bunny bonding process it is also necessary for a bunnies overall happiness.
