Question on Dwarf bunnies help?

I have wanted a bunny again for about year. Last night at the swap meet there was a lady selling dwarf bunnies and she had what she said we're the parents with her and they we're small. My question is do they really stay small. I never heard of dwarf bunnies. But when I saw this one I fell in love in seconds so I bought her. If anyone has any information on them that would be great. I read online they only get @ most 5pounds. But is this just what people say to get you to buy them? (like with the mini pig where they say it's only 10pounds fully grown) or do they really stay small? the cage I have is only for bedtime when I go to sleep.it's a small cage not to big or fancy a little bigger than a hamster cage as I bought it with the bunny last night. But when IM awake which is normally 5 am to 12 am daily she is going to have full access to whatever room of the house I am in. The lady I bought her from is a private breeder of different animals I have bought birds from her before. She breeds birds only parakeets and cockatiels, hamsters and bunnies. So I trust her when I buy from her because I have never had any problems from her animals before. Anyways dwarf bunnies do they really stay small and any info you can give me on differences between them and a regular bunny I had one before but not a dwarf. Thanks a bunch.

    Well a true netherland dwarf per standard should be under 3lbs of 3 1/2 I can't remember off hand. I couldn't tell you what breed she is for sure without any more information or pictures. Generally there is no difference rabbit breed to breed but the larger ones tend to be more laid back and friendly.

    You really never want to buy from a swap meet so many disease associated with those events for the animals and stress from being moved around so much.

    I do think it would be wise to invest in a larger cage because night time they are most active so more room to run and roam would be great.

    I even have an attractive dwarf bunny named Sandy! they are exceptionally very corresponding to the different rabbit yet particularly circumstances they are extra hyper. i think of mine would be finished grown quickly yet continues to be fairly small! you somewhat could get a dwarf bunny! They rule!

    There are several small breeds of rabbit, "dwarf rabbit" is not a breed. You most likely have a Netherland Dwarf or Polish cross. They can get anything from 2-5lb depending on breeding, have met one runt who was just 1lb and adult (with a lot of health problems).
