Netherland Dwarf Bunnies Are Social Creatures

It’s important to also remember that rabbits are highly social animals, and in the wild are used to living in large groups with a vast living area. Where possible, this needs to be recreated for our domestic bunnies, and living with a suitable companion has to be at the top of this list. We recommend homing rabbits in compatible pairs, for example, a neutered male with a neutered female.

Can My Bunny Sleep With Me?

Conventional wisdom suggests that bunny rabbits sleep in a hutch at night. But small animals, such as rabbits, like to sleep next to their owners. They enjoy soft bedding, warmth, and companionship. If your bunny wants to sleep with you and can do so safely, it’s fine. If you’re prepared to risk losing sleep, sharing a bed with a rabbit will deepen your bond. Just remember that rabbits like routine. You can’t share your bed some nights but not others. That will only serve to confuse them.
