I don't know of a professional way, but I suggest pick up the rabbit and see how long it stays in you arms before squirming. Or, maybe carefully stick you hand into it's cage and see if it attacks it. Is the rabbit a male or female? Because Females are more territorial (Trust me, I have two Females of my own.) That's all I know, I hope it works c:

It's different for everyone and depends on what kind of needs you can supply and everything. Plus there's personality.

It depends on what kind of schedule you have, what space you can give, what kind of personality you want, etc. What kind of pets you have already, things like that. Is there any appearance or traits you would like to have in a rabbit?

Also, generalization helps choosing, but hey, people say French Lops are relaxed and calm, mine is moody and grumpy sometimes. xD

I would say Dutch or Rex. They are very nice bunnies that will love you easily. It's good bunnies to start with.

Standard rex aren't really a good breed to start out with. The mini rex are though, as are dutch, lioneheads make great pets and great for your first rabbit.

Yeah but Lionheads will cots more because they are rare. Are they ?

I have a dutch and a rex, and they 2 of them are easy to take care of. They also are very calm. Lionheads will have to be brushed every day. And personally, I don't really like them... But it's not my choice.

There is so many people who do not want their bunnies anymore and just give them away. I bet you can find lionheads for free easily.

Lionheads are one of the more common breeds actually. They don't have to be brushed everyday, infact they take little to no grooming. I'm not a big fan of them myself but I couldn't resist having some blue eyed white babies.

I'd suggest just adopting a mix breed.

Otherwise, one of my first rabbits was a dutch.

I posted about my bunny before, but yesterday since it is getting cold I brought her inside. But she is still a baby and already 7 pounds and she takes half of her cage when she lays down. She just got in her new cage and already seams bored, what can I do to make her day funner? If I let her loose in my room she poops and pees then the other day she was in the living room and she ate wires so she can not go there.

What can I do to make her life more active?
