rabbits leave "pellets" everywhere...good luck getting it to use a litterbox if you are going to keep it indoors. They can survive outdoors in high to low temps, just make sure they have plenty of food and water and something they can get into for shelter from rain and snow.
Get it fixed if you can and never keep two un-neutered males unless you keep them in separate cages...one will be the others "bitch" for life, the poor things.
They are great pets and low cost with upkeep. Cute & cuddly and very friendly, I hope you enjoy your new pet!

I had some rabbits once. Fun pets to have, but they sure can be fisty sometime. And if you have 2 being of diffrent genders, and the female has babys, do not by any means touch it, the baby that is. I suggest you wear some sort of gloves if you are going to be picking it up and down frequently.

They're very cute, but their teeth never stop growing. We were thinking of getting one, but my sister and I are hardly at home and we thought it was unfair to a pet to be cooped up in the apartment by itself.

thank you all, you guys. Memnoch, it is a surprised you would keep a rabbit! I thought your fire aura would generally BBQ them...

and Moni, thanks a lot for the suggestions. I am not getting one for myself but someone else

so I have to make sure the little thing lives and easy to feed

well, what name do you think I should give it? I was thinking about something close to 2-Pac...

LOL Moni!

I love the way you so elequently mentioned the "pellets"!

250 - I've had several rabbits in my lifetime. Only tried the indoor thing once about 8 years ago. Went to pet store around Easter time. Saw many baby bunnies. Saw many signs about petstore saying how easy and carefree it is to have a bunny in an Apartment. Weelllll. I love bunnies. Had a bunch of em as a child, although they were all in rabbit hutches outside. So I bought two, one regular looking one and one mini with those floppy ears? Also bought this big cage with a divider in it for each rabbit (even though I was naive, I wasn't stupid, everyone knows rabbits breed, well, like Rabbits!)

Anywho, I was totally stunned at the incredible amount of, errr, "pellets" that said bunnies dropped about when I would let them run around outside of their cages (separately of course). Such a little tiny thing, yet it was like a frikken dispenser of pellets, they just kept going, and going, and going, and.... Gave a whole new meaning to "Energizer Bunny" LOL! Well, I didn't want to give up my baby bunnies just cause of that, so I bought a hand vac (works great for those pellets)

As time went by, rabbits grew up. Both were supposed to be miniature rabbits according to the petstore (and I paid extra too!). Well. Regular looking bunny (grey and white) turned out to grow into this huge bunny from HELL! This thing was larger than your normal bunny, must have had jackrabbit or something in it, had huge longass horse nose on it too! Oh she was cute, have no doubt of that, but became for awhile there extremely agressive! I'd open the door in the mornings to pour some food into her dish, and she would lunge at me and take those front paws with huge claws and attack the dish, spilling all of the contents which fell down the holes in the bottom of her cage into the "pellet" tray. Trust me, you didn't want to just put your hand in there! Little brown and black floppy eared bunny turned out to be a mini, but was scared to death of everything (probably cause he lived next door to bunny from HELL and was mentally damaged). One time Bunny from hell chewed our cable TV cord all the way to the wires, surprised the thing didn't zap itself (I shoulda been keeping a keener eye on her). Then once my husband actually bought a bale of hay for it (that was quite a mess in an apartment). Couldn't believe it. This thing bored a 7" hole all the way through the center of that bale of hay in one hour flat! I don't know if you have ever grabbed or touched a bale of hay before, but they are extremely wound tight. Never underestimate the teeth potential of a rabbit! Then, I come home from work one day. Turns out my husband had let bunny from hell out of her cage and had her barricaded in the kitchen (he hated seeing things in cages). Well, we had a towel hanging on the refrigerator door handle. Somehow bunny from Hell had chewed a large hole into the still hanging towel, and got her head stuck through it, and was literally hanging there when I came home. I mean HANGING there, choking, eyes bulging, etc. I saved her I think just in time.

So basically, I have to agree with what everyone has said above. Bunnies are good pets to have, as long as you know what you are getting into!
