Oh dear - everything I know - I am not sure I can do that all in one post.
I will try but I am going to have to reference a few websites that I found extremely helpful
Best cage - make your own from coroplast and Neat Idea Cubes. You can reference Cubes and Coroplast for more detail. I know it says guinea pigs but the concept works for bunnies as well - you just need to add a roof. I have a 4 level cage for 2 of my buns. Of course it is never closed and they have the run of the bedroom. My other 2 bunnies each have their own room. I have got to work on bonding.
Bunnies should be feed unlimited timothy grass hay - alfalfa if they are babies. They should have a good quality pellet such as Oxbow. Alfalfa based for young buns or timothy based for adults.
They should receive leaf lettuces and other veggies. You can reference House Rabbit Society Rabbit Care Guide for a list of good rabbit veggies. It's the house rabbit society's site and has a lot of great information.
If you want to litter train your bun (highly recommended) you should first get him or her fixed. Then you can place the hay in the litter box. You should not use a clay based litter. Instead use something like feline pine or yesterdays news.
Bunnies should have a check up at least once a year. And of course they should start out by being spayed or neutered. If you are in the UK I believe that there are shots they will need. In the US they don't require any shots.
They may need their teeth trimmed as they get older. I believe if they are fed the right diet they may never need it. That does depend on the bun.
