Is there a limited playtime for Netherland Dwarfs ND bunnies...? Please kindly advise?

I ve got a pair of Pure Bred ND (Netherland Dwarfs).Currently both of them are abt 8 weeks old.Despite keeping them in a cage at nite for them to sleep,I normally let them out to play in their big space (Area is abt 6ft by 6ft).They loves going thru holes which i made from boxes and they loves running and hopping from one place to another in seconds.I do find hard to catch up when I am trying to film them with my camera. They loves licking my hands and sometime even my feets! I loves my rabbits but can anyone tell me more abt these behavoirs? What are their most active time and resting time? And What kind of fruits are best for ND breds? Thank You :-)

Update:

I posted into the wrong catagory but still hope animal lovers can advise me ..thks

    Netherland Dwarves are just like any other bunny... their most active time is going to be at sunup and sundown, especially at dusk. Usually their rest time is in the afternoon.

    As far as fruits for the ND, the ONLY fruit I could recommend would be apple, and only in tiny amounts. Carrots, carrot greens, parsley... all these are good for them but you have to only give them in small amounts or they can get the runs and it can hurt them. Never give them lettuce!

    Play with them as much as you like, there's no limit on something like that! The fact that they like licking you shows that they like you, so you definitely are spending plenty of time with them.
