They can make great pets, Robyn, personally I wanted to get a baby one, which we did do.
I’ve found the two lop eared we’ve had have been really soppy and cuddly :D They can live for 10 years, unlike Rats, which also make fantastic pets, but have a very short lifespan, lasting just 18 months to 2 years on average.
We handle our rabbit regularly, to help him get used to being held and stop him becoming a kicker or biter.
