I would get a holland Lop buck. I have 35 rabbits and my nicest one is a holland lop buck named Lucky. He will let you hold him or mainly do anything to him.
Here is some info for Bucks and Does.
Bucks spray, but aren't territoral and are more gentle and layed back.
Does are territoral and are more moody. They have mood swings. Sometimes they are nice others they aren't.
* Though this is true for most, it is not true for all. Some times Does are gentle and Bucks are territoral.
I'd advise you to get a bunny off of a breeder who knows how the rabbits acts and behaves.
Where are you located? I have a few bunnies for sale right now. If you are interested e-mail me at pixiedust_15545@yahoo.com
Good luck

p.s. I wouldn't feed ur future bunny only timothy hay, it is not good for it. Don't feed alot of vegtables because it will get sick and die. You can find good rabbit food at Tractor Supply, a pet shop, or even walmart. If you have any questions about bunnies just e-mail me. I don't mind at all.

Whichever one seems nicest to you! I find little Dutch rabbits, or ones like, very cute. Lionheads are also pretty precious!
But - I would got for a cross-breed personally. Purebred bunnies tend to be more prone to dental problems - all bunny's teeth grow constantly and need to be worn down by eating hard food, but some purebred bunnies are inbred, and this may mean their incisors never grow right and have to be extracted. This doesn't always happen with purebreeds, just thought I'd make you aware!
Just for some further advice, here are tips on bunny care:
+ get two bunnies - they are social animals and need the company of their own kind.
+rabbits need vaccinating against myxomatosis and VHD (viral haemorrhagic disease)
+ a good rabbit diet is 75% good quality hay - the rest pellets, and vegetables only really every other day (hard fruit and veg, and no lettuce!)
+ diet is especially important to rabbits as digestive and dental problems are the most common in rabbits.
Hope you enjoy your new bunnies xxx

Since rabbits were originally bred for fur and meat (sad), temperment has more to do with the individual rabbit and the way it was raised than with breed.
Which ever gender you get, i STRONGLY recommend getting it spayed or neutered. Most people are informed about this with dogs and cats, but altering a rabbit often never occurs to them. The benefits to spaying or neutering is eliminating sexual frustration including spraying (as cats also do), territorial aggression, and eliminating Testicular, Prostate, Ovarian, Uterine, and Breast cancers which affect over 85% of unfixed rabbits. When fixed, the gender won't effect which one you pick.
I would also recommend rescuing a rabbit from a shelter- another fact not well known to most people: rabbits are now the 3rd most popular pet in America, which also makes them the 3rd most relinquished to pet shelters for euthanasia... People frequently buy rabbits as babies from pet stores (around Easter) and don't realize all the special requirements that go along with this 12 plus year commitment. Visit the House Rabbit Website for specific information on feeding (mostly Timothy Hay) and housing (Indoors, please). Often times shelters will include a spay or neuter in the adoption fee, and the rabbits will be much healthier and better socialized than a pet-store rabbit (Trust me on this one)

I would definately get a holland lop buck they are the sweetest!!!!!!!!! I have one his names is vincent. The lops are more calm than dwarfs and males are more calm than females. You should get him young maybe six to eight weeks old and do bunny hypnotizing. I do it with mine you just lay him on his back on your legs and pet his head he will fall into a trance and it helps make their backs stronger but you have to start from a baby or else it will hurt their backs. Good Luck with your rabbit!!! Oh and it would be a good idea to get him neutered if you can. If you get a female thats great to i have one and she's good too.

In addition to Chalice's comment, I would like to add that adopting a bunny would be the best option, since many already come in bonded pairs. You can find adoptable bunnies at www.petfinder.com or craigslist.com or visit your local humane society.

The vet instructed you he'd be fertile for as a lot as 6 weeks and also you purchased him neutered so that you does no longer have infant rabbits, proper? so that you want to attend out the 6 weeks. kind of no-brainer.

I have a male and he's a cuddlebug. Just make sure that if you get a boy, you have him neutered. It'll calm down him down a bit and keep him from spraying and agressive behaviors.
