Below are some ideas (and some disagreement). For more specific information about how to raise rabbits, see the related questions below.
Some Ideas:
It's quite easy they make wonderful pets for kids and teens. You just gotta cuddle with them and feed them milk and other soft products. Just keep them warm.
It depends whether the rabbit is a baby and if you have had it since it was little. Otherwise just keep picking it up, stroking it and then maybe take it inside. Rabbits also like Cadbury chocolate buttons so if they come to you and not run away then give them a treat. It's a little like raising a dog!
Disagreement: The above advice will hurt your rabbit! Chocolate is poisonous for bunnies (and many pets), and rabbits should never drink cow milk: only their rabbit mother's milk when they're nursing, and no milk at all once they're weaned (or any animal products, including yoghurt).
If a baby bunny is abandoned before it's weaned, possible alternatives are KMR (Kitten Milk Replacer) for a domestic baby rabbit, or goat's milk for a wild baby rabbit - but it's very difficult to hand raise rabbits! For the sake of the bunny, you should contact a local authority for help (see links below).
Rabbits are not good pets for most children. Rabbits require daily attention and care. They're very fragile and easily injured by bad handling. They can frighten and panic easily. They hide their illnesses and injuries, so it takes a dedicated and careful eye to monitor their health and wellbeing. They wake up before dawn, which means they're not good bedroom pets. They live 10 years or more. These are just some reasons why they're not the best pet for most kids.

Put your rabbit on a table so it can still move around while you put water on it. If it gets scared, do it very slowly and give it stuff to eat to distract it. At the end use a towel to gently dry it off or, you can just let your rabbit dry in the sun.
Another Answer: It can be risky to bathe a rabbit! Healthy rabbits groom themselves. If your rabbit needs a bath, something is wrong: either with its habitat or its health. You should visit a rabbit-savvy vet to find out what is wrong!
If you need to bathe your rabbit, consider the dry bath method, which is less risky and often does the trick. If you need to give your rabbit a wet bath, do so very carefully because:
- If your rabbit gets scared and struggles, it can injure itself
- You could injure your rabbit with shampoos, hot water, or the blow-dryer
- If you get water in your rabbit's ears, it could get an infection
- If your rabbit is wet and it's cold or windy, it could get hypothermia
Consult the links below for information on how to give a bath properly.

Honestly, all you need is a cage, water bottle, and food.

Start out small with a few does and bucks and keep them SEPARATED *remember rabbits are rodents- the does can have a litter every 31 days, they breed quickly* if you don't monitor the rabbits your rabbit operation will get out of hand and you will have a ton of rabbits. The does will fight the bucks also so that's another reason to keep them separated till you're ready to breed her. Good Luck.
