I think you already have 2 girl bunnies? Let's see: bunnies are social creatures. Yes, they enjoy carrots, but carrots are high in sugar, so should only be fed sparingly. (Feed less than 1 tablespoon per day per bun of treats.) DO NOT feed bunnies iceberg lettuce, they will get diarrhea from it. Romaine, green leaf, and red leaf lettuce are all OK. They should have UNLIMITED access to hay (alfalfa hay if they're babies, timothy hay if they're adults) and water. Get PLAIN pelleted food: seeds and corn can stop up a bunny's GI system (alfalfa pellets for babies, timothy pellets for adults). Changing a rabbit's diet should be done GRADUALLY, so as not to upset their digestive system. Find a rabbit savvy vet now instead of when it's an emergency (not all vets know how to treat rabbits). Rabbits can be littertrained. A female rabbit has an 80% chance of developing uterine cancer, if she isn't spayed. (Males are known to spray urine, if they aren't neutered.) Rabbits cannot physically throw up. Their teeth constantly grow.
Here are some great websites to check out:

The last website covers pretty much everything about rabbit care! Hope this was helpful!

I'll tell you as much as I can personally from a few years experience. My rabbit is four years old and very healthy. I got him when he was six weeks old and he only likes to eat cheap food. I cannot understand why...
They're amazing pets. When mine was a bunny he was very energetic and liked to nibble on everything. Now that he's aged a little, he has passed the nibbling stage but still very energetic. I don't suggest putting them with animals any bigger than they are. My rabbit is very good with hamsters though. He follows me around at my heels sometimes. :)
If you're looking into getting one, I say go for it.

Bunnies are great, but make sure you have PLENTY of time to care for them before getting one.
They are actually very naturally clean animals. They like to groom themselves, much like cats. They are also very social. They hippity hop around, and are truly a joy to watch! They enjoy chewing on anything cardboard.
My bunny gets along just fine with my 2 cats. Sometimes I think they are all a little confused on whether they are cats or bunnies. They cuddle with each other, and I even caught my kitten cleaning my bunny once. Very sweet.
Smaller breeds of bunnies generally live 5-7 years. My bunny is almost 2 years old now. I love him so much. He has truly been with me through thick and thin!!!
