So I decided to start with something thats not too hard to explain, because I'm very tired tonight and don't feel like writing a long entry. :)
Rabbits are very clean, and they don't like to sleep where they go to the bathroom usually. You could either just put a litter box in your rabbit's cage (just make sure your rabbit still has plenty of room, though) or you could use a litter box outside of the cage if you leave your rabbit's cage open alot, or you could do both! Sometimes when litter-box training your rabbit, its very difficult at first, and sometimes its not. It just depends on your rabbit. :)
You should probably buy a few litterboxes when your beginning your training. If they have a full run of the house, try to find an enclosed room to train your rabbit in. Place a few litter boxes in different places around the room, and put some hay or something in the litterbox that your rabbit can eat. (Hay is reccomended, though because it helps your rabbit go to the bathroom). See where your rabbit goes, and if your rabbit doesn't go in the litterbox right away, don't worry. It takes time and perseverance. Just try again, and try to notice where your rabbit went and put the litterbox there. Sometimes they just like to go in a certain place. lol
When your rabbit is just about litter-box trained, take away the extra litterbox and just leave one out (unless you have on in the room and one in the cage or something like that lol). Whatever you do: DO NOT HIT, SMACK, KICK, HURT, YOUR RABBIT WHILE LITTERBOX TRAINING OR ANYTIME!!! And DO NOT dicipline your rabbit if they don't go to the litterbox (especially while your still training them).
NOTE: It is SO much easier to litter box train your rabbit when your rabbit is spayed/neutered. Also, if you have a younger bunny it might be a bit harder to train them then an older, calmer rabbit. :)
-If you have any questions or comments feel free to tell me in the Comments section. Good luck training your rabbit! :D

Let me introduce myself :)
Hi. My name is Grace, and I'm a 12 1/2 year old girl who absolutely LOVES bunnies! I used to have a pet rabbit, and her name was Nibble. She was SO adorable and sweet! Her fur was a squirrel pattern (white and grey bands) and her ears were upright, and she always used to lick my hands and feet and stuff. It was really cute when she binkied, too (a binky is when a bun runs and jumps in the air). But unfortunately, on May 31, 2005 she passed away and went to heaven. :( She was only 1 year old when she left us. But I will always remember her. :) My first bun, my first pet. R.I.P. Nibble, we love you ♥♥♥
Anyway, for now, I live in an apartment complex with my mom and grandma, and they do allow small pets here, but you have to pay a fee, and we can't really afford it right now. But, fortunately, we might move into a house in a few months, and then I can get another bunny! Maybe 2, I don't know. Well, my mom said that I can get 2 buns, but I don't know if I'd be able to take care of both of them. I really do want to get 2 bunnies, though.
When I get my pet rabbits, I am going to adopt them from an animal shelter. And for those of you who are planning to get a pet rabbit or any other pet, think of adoption first. They only have a limited amount of time in those shelters, and if you adopt, you could be saving that animal's life. So please, I beg you, consider adoption first. :)
I don't have a camera or any old pictures of Nibble, but I might be able to find a picture or two if my mom has the time to look for it. lol BUT I might get a webcam or a camera soon, probably after we move into a house though. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, when I adopt my rabbits from an animal shelter, I'm going to try to get an already bonded pair, and hopefully already neutered/spayed, so they get along well, and I wouldn't have to worry about them fighting.
When I got Nibble, I was 8 years old, and I lived in a big house with my mom and dad (and grandma, but it was a 2 family house and she lived in the upstairs part of the house). Over the years, and especially recently; I've been reading and researching tons of information about rabbits. I owe a lot of my knowledge to Rabbit Secrets. I didn't buy the book yet, but I will soon, but I've been receiving emails from them with little articles from the book, and they are really useful! Here is the link: http://www.rabbitsecrets.com/AltA.htm
Its only $9.99 and its fully downloadable so you don't have to wait for anything to ship to your home! I thought there was somewhere where you can receive emails from them, but I'm not sure. Oh, and also, here is a link for this website called The Daily Bunny. Its not very informative, but it always cheers me up with the little pictures of buns and funny captions. ^_^ http://dailybunny.typepad.com/
A couple more links: http://birdchick.com/adventures/rabbit/index.html <-- Disapproving Rabbits. Its very funny and cute, and makes me laugh. xD http://www.rabbit.org/ <-- The House Rabbit Society offical webpage. Very useful, helpful, and informative. :) http://wascalbunny.org/RabbitPages/RabbitsMain.htm <-- This is a webpage for Wascal the Wabbit. It is also very helpful and cute and entertaining ^_^
Well, thats about it for now. Everyday I always learn new information about rabbits. Its so interesting. Its something that I do not get bored reading about. lol I'll post again soon, and I'll try to put some bunny pictures in here (some that I find on a website, not my own, 'cause, you know, I don't have any pics. lol).
*Bunny hugs & Kisses*

P.S. I'm not only going to post pictures and stuff, but I'm going to start posting some information about keeping a pet rabbit soon. If you have any questions or anything, just email me or comment on my blog. My email is: kuchipatchiluver@hotmail.com
And tell me which topic of keeping a pet rabbit you would like me to start with. I have no idea what to talk about first! :D
