Here are the top ten things that you can do to keep your rabbit healthy and happy:
1. Clean your rabbit's cage once a week and do additinal spot cleaning everyday.
2. Play with your rabbit every day for about 20-30 minutes.
3. Make sure that your rabbit has fresh food, water and alfalfa hay everyday.
4. Clean your rabbit's food bowls and water bottle (or bowl!) out everyday in hot water and with soap.
5. Make sure that when you play with your rabbit that he doesn't get into any deadly plants, plastic, rubber or cords. These could be deadly!
6. NO NOT feed your rabbit any sweets! These could be DEADLY!
7. Make sure to take your rabbit to the vet at least twice a year for usual check ups.
8. Feed your rabbit a variety of fruits and veggies everyday!
9. Keep your rabbit's nails and teeth trimmed. Either learn how to, or have your vet clip and trim the nails and teeth.
10. Make sure that your rabbit has a nice big cage to live in! Also, a hutch for in the Summer time is a good idea!
I hope that this answers your question! Thanks, and good luck!

1. Give it lots of attention.
2. Make sure it has water and hay at all times.
3. Don't give it commercial pellets (That can cause ISS... which means your bunnies poop will be soft and it will stick to its butt. ITS SOo GROSS!!)
4. Let it play for an half hour to 3 hours everyday. (if you dont have time get it a play pen and let it play around in there)
5. Trip its nails once a week.
6. Brush it every two days (everyday if its a long haired)
7. Clean its cage once a week (change its bedding, wash it, ect.)
8. Give it fresh veggies once or twice a day.
9. Don't give fruits too often (can cause ISS)
10. Make sure its seems to be happy and its eating right.
Hope I helped!!

* Large cage with shelter - hay to sleep on
* Dailey exercise
* rabbit food mostly, occassionally fruit and vegetables
* Buy a salt lick but keep water handy for rabbit
* Clean cage well weekly, remove waster every couple of days at least
*Rabbits have weak hearts - exreme heat will kill them.
