Dawn and dusk are when rabbits are most active and awake (they are crepuscular). Rabbits sleep during the daytime and they nap on and off at night. If you were to feed a rabbit at midday, it would be like someone waking you up in the middle of the night for dinner. But you don't really have to wake up at dawn to feed your rabbit breakfast: so long as you don't sleep in too late, you can feed the rabbit when you wake up (e.g. 7 or 8 in the morning is fine for most rabbits). Rabbits should have access to hay at all times; that way, they have something to nibble on when they're at their hungriest, and they can wait a bit for you to feed them their meal.
Because believe it or not they can see better in the dark and plus your rabbit will sleep better and wake up refreshed.

Whatever you feed the rabbit all day. See the related question below for more details and links. Rabbits should have 24/7 unlimited access to fresh hay and water.
