The dwarf rabbit requires food (you can find rabbit food such as alfalfa pellets at your local pet store) and water just like any other animal. (Water bottles and/or bowls may also be purchased from a pet store.)
A rabbit will need a hutch to protect it from the elements if is living outside. (Even if it is living inside, you may still want to give it a hutch) It is also recommended that you give it a rabbit run so it can exercise at will. If you cannot afford one, you will need to take your rabbit out of its cage for at least half an hour a day so that it can get exercise.
Finally, you'll need a litter box. Rabbits are clean animals, so they'll normally choose one place and "go" there. If your rabbit is constantly roaming your house, you might want to put down some newspaper before introducing the rabbit to your home. If your rabbit spends the majority of its time in its cage, (please note your rabbit does NEED to get out of its cage for exercise) it will chose a corner of its cage to use as its "bathroom". You should place the litter box there.
More Important DetailsActually, all pet rabbits have the same needs. See the related questions below for more information. What rabbits need fits into five categories:Diet
Rabbits that eat lots and lots of hay are more likely to avoid common health problems than rabbits who don't (like dental disease, GI stasis, urine sludge or stones, anxiety and depression). Giving your rabbit 100% 24/7 access to hay and fresh water is the best way to promote good health and wellbeing. Alfalfa hay is good for babies and pregnant and nursing rabbits; most adult rabbits should eat only grass hays (like timothy).
Rabbits also eat pellets, and fresh leafy greens every day. Non-leafy veggies and fruit can be good treats, but too much can lead to illness. Some plants are dangerous for rabbits, so be careful. Some pellets are unhealthy for pet bunnies (too high in protein/fat or too low in fibre), so do some market research first.
All other foods are unhealthy for bunnies and should be avoided, even if you see them in the pet store (including nuts, seeds, yoghurt and other dairy products, meat and meat fats/by-products, and grains - including whole grains and processed foods like crackers, cereal, bread).
Habitat
Most people find it easiest to keep their rabbit safe by keeping it in a large cage (or cube condo, hutch exercise pen, dog crate, etc). Rabbits need outside their cages for at least three hours a day - so they can exercise, play, and socialise. Anywhere the rabbit has access to needs to be "bunny proofed" so your stuff doesn't get destroyed and the rabbit doesn't get hurt. Many rabbit cages on the market are too small even for dwarf rabbits, so be a smart consumer. A rabbit's habitat also needs to feel comfortable and safe from the rabbit's perspective, or else she will suffer from stress.
Natural Behaviours
Domestic animals need to engage in the same behaviours as their wild cousins, or else they feel bored, anxious, depressed. Give your rabbit safe toys and play structures that allow him to do things like: climbing (hopping on top of things), digging, tearing and shredding, hiding, moving stuff around (as they would in a burrow - toys to toss and roll), grazing (one of the reasons why hay is so good), and sprinting.
Companionship & Protection
Rabbits are social animals. They need your friendship and attention every day. They generally do very well bonded with other rabbits; and they can sometimes get along with other pets, like cats and dogs. However, other animals (including rabbits) can also hurt your rabbit; as can some people, especially children and even adults who aren't familiar with rabbits: you need to be in charge of your rabbit's safety and wellbeing and protect her from dangers at all times.
Health & Medical Care
Like cats and dogs, rabbits need vet care for physical checkups, shots (in some regions - like the UK), and treatment when injuries or accidents happens. It's also important to keep on top of your rabbit's health: observe her appearance and behaviour every day, and look out for signs of illness; and give her a physical exam at home ever month, and necessary grooming (like nail clipping; and fur brushing, especially during a moult).
