This website will tell you everything you need to know to have a house bunny.
It has feeding, housing, training, vet, ...
And stevewbcanada doesn't know what he is talking about. I am a rabbit breeder that has a pet flemish giant that is litter trained doesnt eat anything that isnt given to him. He is a great pet and alot of fun to play with.
I breed and show English Lops and Flemish Giants and my son is in 4H with a Fuzzy Lop.
I belong to ARBA and the Vancover Island rabbit breeders association.
My rabbitry is also linked below.

you need to rabbit proof the house a bit especially the cables or you're going to end up with fried bunny. It sounds weird, but the wall paper ripping could be attention seeking. My friends house rabbit did this when he was bored or if there was someone in the house he didn't like

It depends on the rabbit. I have had a few that were baseboard and wire chewers. They became less destructive as they got older. If yours is destructive, you have to do some rabbit proofing, particularly with the wires, as chewing them can be dangerous. My current rabbit, a neutered male, is not at all destructive. He has never chewed a baseboard. We arrange the wires in the house to be out of his reach.

Yeah, our first rabbit was a house rabbit and chewed the skirting boards, ripped the wallpaper and chewed cables. Your quite lucky yours is affectionate, ours wasn't!

You need to do some bunny proofing. You can start by going to the pet store and buying bitter apple spray. Spray it on everything you don't want him to eat. Also buy split look cable and wrap your wires in it. Neutering him should really help the destructive behavior. You can find more tips on this website.

All rabbits will chew on pretty much everything -- that's why they make very poor house pets. You can't teach them not too -- it's in their nature.

Yikes! Sounds like he doesn't need to be a "house rabbit" anymore.

I had one when I was growing up, and yes, they can be very destructive. It got to the point that I had to keep her in her cage all the time, and I didn't thin that was fair so I gave her to my uncle who had a huge outside hutch.
