Learn about what your bunny needs on a regular basis and be sure that she gets it. Bunnies need daily care and attention and they love their humans, so interact with her, on her terms.
I'm going to send you some links that will help you learn all you need to know, but in general be sure:
to keep her inside
to get her spayed by a rabbit savvy vet and take her to the vet if she gets sick
she gets unlimited grass hay if she is over 1 year (alfalfa if under 1 year)
fresh water every day
good quality plain pellets
a variety of fresh greens
maybe a tiny piece of fruit every day or so
Let her out to play for at least 3 hours a day and supervise her play time and be sure you bunny proof the house so she doesn't hurt herself.
Here are some great places to start:
House Rabbit Society: http://www.rabbit.org Also check chapter websites as top rabbit professionals advise chapters in their cities.
Rabbit References: http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabrefs.html
Medi Rabbit: www.medirabbit.com
Carrot Café: http://www.carrotcafe.com/
American Veterinary Partner: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&A=673&S=5&SourceID=43 some good articles by top rabbit savvy vets
The Language of Lagomorphs: http://www.muridae.com/rabbits/rabbittalk.html Very amusing and good insight into why your bunny does what he does
House Rabbit Adoption and Rescue (H.A.R.E.) http://www.bio.miami.edu/hare/rabbithealth.html many excellent articles on rabbit health and care.

Rabbits are great pets! They typically live between 5-7 years. They can be litter box trained. I wouldn't suggest feeding your rabbit fruits and vegetables because it can cause intestinal issues (runny poops). The commercial food works well and has all the nutrients it needs. If kept in a small cage your rabbit will need some exercise. Perhaps free roam in a bedroom or kitchen (with no wires around for him to chew). Rabbits also need a salt rock and chew sticks to keep their teeth short. It is very common for teeth over growth and if this happens a vet should be able to clip them like nails. Usually inexpensive. Alfalfa or hay is also a good idea for extra nibbling. Enjoy your new pet!

I'll give you star.... And if you want your rabbit to stay alive for as long as possible just nurture it to the bes t of your ability. Love her and feed her. Then take your rabbit to the vet regularily. Don't let it get too fat. keep her living conditions clean and healthy. Feed her the right things and don't let any foxes or wolf like creatures near her. And just pay that her life will be long and that you can provide the best life for her. Good Luck to your rabbit!

My first rabbit lived to be 8 yrs old and during those 8 yrs he had 2 operations, 1 to remove a very large absess and the second to remove his front teeth (he had a missaligned jaw so if he didnt get his teeth clipped every few weeks his tooth grew up his nose.
to keep your rabbit alive feed it right, make sure it doesn't get fly strike (very nasty one of my current rabbits had that but thankfully survived) clean it out regular and DON'T FEED IT LETTUCE!!! lettuce can kill them.

Just give her lots of love and healthy food i.e normal rabbit food, vegetables and the odd rabbit treat that you can get from pet shops, or vegetables from your home. Get Veterinary advice, when needed and a comfy home.

don´t eat him, pls. stay vegetal
pls. take every single day long look after him
his eyes will tell you, if he is ok or not
also his ears
give him no food which u found/took from places next to a street
not to much salad cause of nitrate inside
better are carots, old and dry bred

Here are some excellent websites. Also read the House Rabbit Handbook. I suggest the best things you are get it spayed or neutered and keep it indoors.

There isn't really a secret you just have to feed your pet and make sure that it gets the max attention it needs. I have a few tips though: Vegetables, fruit, exercise, love, clean environment and love again.
