Yup, rescued bunnies are the best!
THe other problem with an aquarium is that the bunny would end up sitting in his pee, which can cause a serious condition called sore hocks. Also the cage and the size of the bunny - it needs to be very roomy....I think it was the House Rabbit Society that said the minimum size should be 4 times the length the bunny measures from the tip of his nose to the very end of his rear feet when the bunny is stretched out on his belly and his legs are extended out behind him. Exercise is very important for bunnies and they should be let out of a cage at least twice a day for 2-3 hours each. It is not natural for them to be confined like that. Actually, HRS not longer recommends using cages for bunnies but using a portable puppy pens instead, also sold in pet stores. A cage that is too small would be terrible for your bunny. The pen allows him to have a lot of exercise while still being confined.
And the important thing to remember is that baby buns are not litter trainable.....that comes naturally to them when they get older. Neutering a bunny is essential as buns tend to get reproductive cancers, it will also make a bunny less aggressive and helps them calm down and be more affectionate. It also makes the smell of his/her urine less strong. You must have a bunny-specialist vet do the surgery as buns are fragile when it comes to amount of anesthesia used.
Keep checking the HRS website, it is full of great info. or post a question here...there are several of use who have had years of bunny caring experience and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Good luck!
