Its cage should be indoors, were it will live longer. It needs to have a really large cage and needs to be able to play outside of its cage for at least 2 hours a day. Rabbits do NOT make good pets for children as rabbits do not like to be held or restrained. They live for 10 + years and require just about the same amount of care as a dog or cat. PLEASE GET A FIXED RABBIT! Nuetered/spayed rabbits are happier and they dont chew, dig and spray as much. A rabbit's diet should be made up of good quality pellets, fresh hay (alfalfa, timothy or oat), water and fresh vegetables. Anything beyond that is a "treat" and should be given in limited quantities. Make sure your house is "bunny proofed" as cords and wires are a major concern. Their teeth NEVER stop growing and therefore you should provide wood blocks and vets trimming their teeth. Rabbits need to be groomed often.
