QuestionAre dwarf bunnies good pets for my kids?Community AnswerBunnies do not usually like to be cuddled, carried around or played with (bunnies are prey animals and are more careful and scared than predator animals like cats and dogs). Since they are also very fragile, they are not an ideal pet for small children. When the children are older, bunnies can be a nice pet since they are not that hard to be taken care of, but please do research about space and food requirements. If the children want a pet to cuddle and play with, a cat or dog might be more suitable.
