Not sure what research you've done so will include some links for you. Here are some key points:
rabbits should be kept indoor and they need and want daily attention. They should have a large enough cage or pen so they can stretch out and stand up without hitting their ears. Their space should be large enough to contain a litter box, a hiding box, toys, and food and water bowls.
Depending on the age of your bunny there are some differences in diet, but all bunnies need unlimited access to hay (if under 1 year give them alfalfa hay) and plain pellets. Over 1 year, you should start limited the amount of pellets so your bunny doesn't get fat. It's good to give a variety of greens and you can give you bunny fruit or carrots, but really limit them. Basically none of the treats sold in pet stores are good for your bunny and neither are cookies, crackers, seeds, nuts, corn.
Bunnies need exercise and love to race around. You'll want to bunny proof your house so your bunny doesn't hurt herself. Most love to be petted but most don't love being picked up.
Here are some grooming tips and a few for long haired rabbits:

I'd purchase cat nail clippers and a de-mating brush.
Enjoy it. Handle it as often as you can. Don't give them baths, just wipe with a damp cloth. Get lots of toys. Toilet paper rolls, wooden blocks.
Its important to have a lava rock (find in pet stores) for teeth, and salt/ mineral licks.
Check his teeth every now and then to make sure they are growing in right. (Teeth grow during all of a rabbit's life) Trim nails once a month.

Not really just keep her well groomed! The knotts are a nightmare to get out!
You can get in pet shops now special combs for small long haired animals. It gets the knots out nice and easy and the ends are rounded so you wont hurt the bunnys skin.
If you need a name for her... www.babynames.com!
Enjoy!!

do not listen to the uneducated idiots giving u stupid answers but yes do feed it! buy it a salt and mineral wheel, go 2 the vet and get its nals clipped, brush it, clean it's tray or what ever u r using for its waste every other day, give it hay at least once a week and make it regular and acasionally alfalfa.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

since that is a long-haired breed, it will need brushing more often that most other rabbits. other than that, check out http://www.rabbit.org for lots of rabbit care info.
