The best thing to feed a rabbit is the store bought rabbit pellets. You can also buy them rabbit treats. Some rabbits will like a apple or a apple branch to chew on. Others like carrots, and some don't. Never give them too much vegetables or fruits because they are low in protein, and they need to eat mostly pellets to keep them healthy. Never feed them cabbage because this can gas them up and kill them. Other greens can also get them sick by giving them diarrhea. My rabbits aways like a handful of clover, but never so much to spoil their dinner. Hay is another source of food for them and some use straw for their nest.
The best cage to keep a bunny in is a wire cage where the dropping can fall through.A solid top keeps the sun and the rain from hitting the rabbit. A little wooden house added to the back of the cage will give them something to go into to keep out of weather.

Rabbits are naturally clean and never need a bath, unless their bottom gets dirty. Only wash the bottom of the rabbit off, and give them some raspberry tea to get rid of their diarrhea. Make sure that all greens are taken away.

What a lot of people don't realize, rabbits need to be kept by themself after they are about 3 months old. After this, they will fight, and the only evidence that you will find is a dead rabbit.
Rabbits live about 3-5 years, while I had a couple that lived to be 9. They will learn their name, and will come up to you when you call them. They aren't as smart as a dog, but they will love you just as much.
