As with any pet, I'd buy some books on rabbits and also read up on certain breeds which will fit your lifestyle the best. Rabbits are not the easiest pets in the world to look after, and they are quite prone to illnesses (unless I've just been unlucky). My first rabbit had an intestinal problem which I managed for 4 years, and my second rabbit had an intestinal tumour, which was probably down to interbreeding, and I would hate anyone to go through what I went through with Cookie. Look around for rabbit breeders and only choose one which you are very happy with, or alternatively, adopt.

Good luck.
