They like to eat and chew on every thing. Beware of electrical cords, certain house plants, candy, cigarettes and other hazards so your best bet is to get down on the floor and look at the house from their level. If a house pet is not what you are looking for, then they can be caged outside and even handled enough to become gentle. When caging outside, be aware of the shade provided to the rabbit through out the day. Remember, as the seasons change, so does the angle of the sun.
Rabbits can become over heated very easily.
A trick that I learned in south Texas was to take plastic milk jugs, cut in half, fill bottom of it with water and freeze. Another important thing to remember with outside rabbits is the type of cage you have them in. Make sure it is constructed in such a way that the neighbor's dogs can't get the door open or a hold of a foot through the bottom wire. Working emergency, I have seen many rabbits that had their legs chewed off because of this problem. Other care tips, carrots, lettuce, apples and such make good treats but do not make a stable diet for a rabbit.
