I used to have a large albino lop years ago (until he escaped :-( ).  He was pretty easy to care for.  I just gave him rabbit pellets and water every day.  I wanted to give him carrots and lettuce and stuff, but didn't know if I should, so I never did.

well how sweet i love the lops but i have a netherland dwarf there so small 2ibs.. well for future reference you feed them hay ( unlimited hay) like timothy hay ( hay is the most important part of the diet for the fiber), pellets with no seeds just a plain pellet (about 1/4cup a day), and veggies (about 1 cup a day) especially dark greens ( cilantro, cucumber,mustard greens, romaine lettuce NEVER ICEBURG LETTUCE KILLER) and very very few carrots or fruit because that causes to much sugar equals fat bunny, and bad teeth. :) so if u ever get one again now u know!:) maybe ill post some pics of my bun :)

See, now I'm glad I didn't listen when other people in the house told me to feed him lettuce, since they were uncreative shoppers and only ever got iceburg :-( .
 
How are you supposed to clean a rabbit?  I know someone who had a rabbit once that when it got dirty, she tried to wash it off a bit in the sink, and it died shortly after :-( .  She didn't understand why, since she said the water was just deep enough to cover its feet, not to drown it.  I couldn't help much, since I never actually washed mine.  I figured they were like cats, and could clean themselves ^_^;;; .

Rabbits as a pet. I guess I must live in the dark ages because I never knew people who had a rabbit for a pet. Are they playful? I'm really curious.

I had two of them and i will never own a rabbit again. As much as I loved both of mine they eat everything, carpet, cables, floor boards, everything. Honestly rabbits are not a domesticated animal imo they are cute but they dont like to be held mostly they don't get excited to see you when you come home like dogs or cats and they are high risk for bladder stones. However they are soft and funny when they binki (happily jump/twist kartwheel in mid air)
