you need to find a friend or a family member who will take care of it!!!! you need to make sure that they have a supply of water every day that you are gone!! rabbits can only go 24 hours without water and they will die!! they also always need to have an unlimited amount of hay all the time and they also need their amount of food every day. they can go longer without pellets but always need hay!! the absolute best thing to do is to get a friend or somebody who you can trust and know that they will not forget to feed your rabbit!!! what you should do is make a list of things that you need your friend to do and give it to them. also tell them the proper things to do if your rabbit is sick, has diarrhoea, or isn't eating - make sure that they call the vet, give the rabbit less treats, and give the rabbit a handful of alfalfa hay(that always clears up my rabbit in no time at all)!!!! if possible, you should show your friend or whoever is taking care of your rabbit how to pick up your rabbit properly, if they know how to and you trust them to do it, tell them to take your rabbit out of the cage every day to play!! also, get them to phone you every day to tell you how the rabbit is doing and if they have any questions! make sure that there is an emergency vet number and address just in case!!
what to do before you leave is: play with your rabbit allot and have allot of 1 on 1 time together so it makes up for when you are gone!!and also feed it the day you leave so your friend doesn't have to worry about it!!! make sure that your rabbit is very healthy and isn't sick at all.
what to do when you come back is: inspect your rabbits cage and make sure that its dropping are firm and not watery(which is a sign of diarrhoea) and once you have done that, take your rabbit out to play and inspect your rabbit. make sure that it has clear eyes and nose.
i hope that helps and look up on the Internet about care for rabbits when you are away!!

Hire a pet sitter to come in and take care of it every day, you can also see if there are any vets and kennels in the area that will board exotics. Or you could see if someone you know would be willing to watch it. You should pay them for it even if they are your friend because bunnies can be a handful at times, or at least take them out to eat or something.

If a friend can't take care of it, try a boarding kennel. I know it sounds silly but most do have small animals cages just for this reason. I boarded some off the wall pets at my kennel. Bearded dragons, chinchillas, birds, etc.... besides the usual dogs and cats.
Give it a shot.
Hope I helped.

you can always ask a friend or other family members to take care of your rabbit.
just make sure that you orient them of the basic care of rabbit. like what to feed them, how to handle them etc.

Find a friend to take your bunny, or look for petsitting in the local paper. Also a kennel may or a vet may be able to board it for you.

do they go without you...cause thats not nice...
You can take it to your vet and ask, or they make Pet hotels but theyre bit pricey.
By putting an extra amount of food and water you can leave them for a max of 1 week but no more.
but a better altrnative would be a friend or neighboor or someone else

in my experience you can leave them for a weekend is they are in a dafe location and have a big supply of water and food. Anything longer, you could get a friend to look in or search for a bunny sitting service

Same thing that I do for my cats when I go on vacation: Find a friend who will take care of it for you.

How long is the vacay? I've left my bunny home alone for up to 3 days. I lock him in the bathroom with plenty of food, water, and hey. He'll be mad at you when you get home, but he'll be fine.

How many days are they gone for? Can you get a friend to come over and feed it? How about a neighbor? If it's only for one night you can just feed it a little extra.
