You should hold it(dont listen to them, i held my rabbit when i got her for such a long time and now she is the sweetest) make it feel like it can trust you, give it healthy treats low is starches and sugars such as fresh veggies, talk to it alot and in a nice calm soothing voice, make sure the whole family is nice to it and make sure it is in a nice familiar surroundings and away from loud noises.. and if it is outside then bring it inside.. then as it gets older you can put it in a nice sheltered area outside(not a garage or shed with lots of fumes) but i wouldnt reccomend puting it outside

You can NEVER fully tame a wild rabbit. And if you have a wild rabbit, let it go. We have too many domestic pet type rabbits to deal with without having to tame wild ones.
If you mean raise and TRAIN a pet, then here is a different answer. Rabbits can get the basics of food and stuff, but they are dumb as hell. While soft and cuddly, they know 4 things: 1 eating, 2 sleeping, 3 urinating and pooping, and 4 reproducing. That's it.

Your question doesn't provide enough details. Is it a baby? Is it domestic or wild? Rabbits don't like to be held. It's because they are prey animals and they feel like they are in danger if they picked up. The best thing you can do is to sit in a pen with it and read a book. That way he can get used to your smell and sight without having to worry that you're going to touch him.

I got mine when he was 6 months old, he's 2 next month. His old owner used to pick him up, hold him, pet and cuddle him constantly. If we had kept it up, he would probably like to be picked up more, but we let him run lose in the house (he's litter trained and fixed), thus he doesn't like to be picked up, but he loves to cuddle and be pet for hours. I was also told that because we got him fixed, that helped quite a bit. Like any animal, it takes time, patience and lots of love. I say keep on cuddling and holding him, he/she will eventually become a big suck. (ours is a constant shadow, and begs for attention, pretty funny)
