Plenty of fresh hay regularly. Feed nuggets to stop selective feeding and add in fresh vegetables and a little fruit but not too many carrots as they have too much sugar - basically the more 'fibrous' veg so kale, cabbage, brussel sprouts etc
Rabbits drink a lot of water - often more than a dog would
Check their rear ends regularly especially in the hot weather for cleanliness
I have a house rabbit and have fostered rescue rabbits and they make great pets.
If they stop eating it's very serious and possible to lose within 12 hours - look up GI stasis |

Make sure you learn to trim their nails and do it regularly...
The more you handle them, the easier it is to trim nails etc...
If at all possible have a cage with a wooden floor as it will wear down the nails saving you cutting them...
Personally if I got the chance I would wring their bloody necks but Frisky and the children love them...

"Both girls. "
Double check yourself (google what they should look like) and don't just trust the breeder.
We bought a girl Guinea Pig from a pet shop to turned out to be a boy. |

"Add some vegetables, garlic and red wine. Simmer gently at 180 for approximately 2.5 hours.
 "
Bluebell and violet wouldn't be impressed. Need a big pot when fully grown. The size of a terrier |
