I have now a few folks who kept pet rabbits, including one family with a housebunny. Their dog ate its leavings. Handy, eh? You may find it necessary to see this furball as a future dinner though. Keep that in mind.
Have you ever read Watership Down by Richard Adams? It's an adventure novel featuring rabbits. You can probably find a copy through your local library.
He will not be running loose in the house, my sister had one for a pet and it ate her electric cords. I have one dog who used to have to hunt for her food and I am sure she would not think twice about eating him, which we will never do.
Reading is one thing I never had the time for, I love to read but with a husband and 5 kids, I always end up reading the same page 50 times because I keep being interrupted.
