Rabbits are good pets, if you treat them well. They can be litter-trained in the sense that if you find the place they like to go, you can put a litter box there.
make sure you handle your rabbit a lot when it is young. Otherwise, they will not like to be held later.
be careful about cords. they love to chew cords and carpet. we lost a tv to a rabbit that chewed through the cord (thank goodness the tv was off!).
For the chewing impulse, I recommend old phone books and scrap carpet. Our house has a bunny zone - old carpet, phone books and cardboard boxes she likes to hide in and chew on. It is a small play area, but it has improved our rabbit's behavior immensely. We also got her a small one of those carpeted kitty condos - she hides in there and tries to tunnel her way out the back, it keeps her busy.
But rabbits do not bond to people like cats and dogs, it is not the same as having a truly domesticated pet. They can be fun, but they are not your best friend.
We have found that landlords do not mind rabbits, though.

You would have to decide where to put your rabbit. I would choose outside in a cage that has a wire bottom so his poop pellets can fall onto the ground and maybe some hay for bedding. You will also need a salt wheel so that your rabbit can trim his/her teeth. Don't forget your rabbit's food pellets and a water bottle. Make sure your cage is inclosed you wouldn't want him/her to hop out. Bunnies like clovers and carrots for a snack. If your looking for a Playboy bunny good luck! If you really do mean a hare then I also wish you luck and happy petting.

Bunnies ae great actually. They have a semisolid poo not messy ones like ferrets and dogs.
Consider that they pee EVERYWHERE. I hear they can be housebroken, look it up and stick to what they tell you.
Remember, they do get bigger. If you like bunnies, consider a guinea pig. They have all kinds of different ones, some have super soft bunny like fur. But they don't bounce so they can make less of a mess. Our old rabbit knocked everything over!

I have done a lot of reasurch. My sister is about to get a rabbit. We are building a hutch now. I have found out if you want to keep it in your house you will have to bunny proof your house. Which means covering wires, plugs, and anything you dont want to get torn up. Bunnys love cardboard boxes but make sure it ahs openings to get in and out of. If you want one that you can housebreak the site is in the sources. Also if you want more information

I like them! Daily cage cleanings are a must - you can let them run the house when you are home and they can be leash trained or let out for a run in fenced yard. They can be trained to a litter box - I thought mine was - turned out it was just hopping in a low toy storage bin to pee on the doll clothes. If you don't watch them they will chew the woodwork - lamp cords - carpet - you name it, but they are lovable. You may need to trim their teeth if they do not align or get enough stuff to chew on.

Rabbits require alot of care. Daily cage cleanings. I wouldn't reccomend keeping a rabbit in the house unless you plan on litter training. They also love to chew on EVERYTHING.
Get a dog. Truly man's best friend.
