You need a good heavy crock bowl or a feeder that attaches to the outside of the cage with a tray that extend inside the cage. Bunnies will grab the bowl in their teeth and give it a toss...sometimes even before they've eaten! They also tend to use their bowls and bedding boxes as toilets. Bunnies can be litterbox trained.
You'll want to give them sticks or blocks of wood to chew on - you can buy these at a pet store. This gives them something to do.
Oh, and make sure to handle them regularly, stroke and pet them. Females can get territorial and aggressive after a while if you do nothing with them but change their feed and water.

I have 2 bunnies and i've had them for about 5 years. They really like it when you rub in between their ears but never rub dwarf rabits ears down they should be up most of the time. Since you got your rabbits from a pet store i suggest getting them checked at the vet because they usually have some sort of problem because the breeders give the pet stores all of the rabbitss that they dont know what they are or that they arent fully healthy. You should probably make sure they both have there own space. Females get very protective. Make sure their cags are secure and away from any kind of animal that could harm the rabbits

You'll need two separate cages eventually. Most bunnies will fight when they are mature. Feed a good quality hay such as timothy. No alfalfa...too high in calcium. Only give a tiny bit of pellets (like 1/4 cup per 5 lbs.) each day. Fresh water. No wire bottomed cages for most pet rabbits. Only large rabbits with very heavily furred feet can handle wire without injury. Don't use cedar shavings....toxic. Keep nails trimmed. Have the vet check the stool for parasites. The www.rabbit.org is a good website for more info.

Build a cage (wire bottom cages are bad for theyre feet and often to small), so it can be as big or small as you want (big is always better)_ , instructions at http://www.fosterbunnies.com/housing.htm
Make sure they have lots of hay all the time ... fresh veggies daily
a list of toxic plants : http://www.adoptarabbit.com/articles/toxic.html
As long as they dont fite or bvite each other they could stay in the same cage .. but if they do even once u have to seperate them.
Bunnies are really good pets , if you treat them right

My sisters and I raised bunnies when we were kids. If you build a hutch, be sure to lay down a piece of board or something in a corner. Neighborhood dogs would try to grab the bunnies' feet through the bottom of the wire, and a piece of board would allow a safe place for the rabbit to rest. My oldest sister kept a bunny in her fenced backyard with a lab for almost 5 years! Good luck!

They should not be in the same cage! Dutch get really big, (I had one) and cannot be trusted not to eventually beat up your dwarf! Also, please do not just get rid of them if they scratch you, because that what rabbits do. No matter how nice they are otherwise.

These websites have lots of information. You should have gotten them from a shelter because then you would have the cost of their spays included in the adoption fees. You need to get them fixed around the age of five months. Unspayed female rabbits have a very high cancer rate. Don't pick them up. Rabbits don't like being handled and if you pick them up incorrectly then they could wiggle and then break their backs.

Get them fixed if they have not been already. Certain species of female rabbits are very susceptible to uterine cancer as they age. I just love bunnies. Have fun!!!!

I suggest u built a hutch. and to put them outside for half hr to get some sun.But put in a run-along cage,find at every big pet stores.Keep them within your sight and away frm dog/cats.Feed them with fresh fruits and veggies and pellet food.Water btle must be cleaned and put fresh water in daily.By the way, under your hutch or cage, put some newspaper for their faeces, and clean it with an antiseptic/bacteria spray.contact me if you have any more questions
