My daughter is almost 11, she is currently researching, saving money, and planning for her first bunny.
We live in a city, so this will be a house-bunny, with limited outdoor time.
She has planned quite a large cage, and knows she needs a safe enclosure as well for out-of-cage / training time as we have dogs.
She wants a small-ish rabbit, but not TOO small (so - no Flemish Giants, and no Netherland Dwarfs either), and she wants to be able to show the rabbit in local shows, at least one of which is ARBA sanctioned.
She does not plan on breeding the rabbit, but wants one as a pet.
She has been reading rabbit books, going through tons of websites, and been in touch with RabbitRescue Canada, as well as talking with a few breeders at the last local rabbit show (at a local fair).
We are in Ontario, Canada if that matters for breed availability.
