Much like the first thing I did when I got on my own was to buy the ball python my dad wouldn't let me have - I also am ready to get a bunny.

I've been reading a lot of books about the breeds, behaviors, set ups and all that shenanigans but I'd like first hand knowledge from people instead of just book talk.

In your guys opinions - I'd like a small rabbit that is calm and likes to be pet - I know that none of them really like to be picked up but I'd like one that at least likes to sit in my lap and snuggle. Which breed fits this best? I was leaning towards a mini lop or mini rex but that isn't set in stone since I'm still a ways off from obtaining an actual bunny. I work nights and I don't really know anyone around here so I spend all my time at home and I'd love to spend it with a rabbit and get to play with them and train them.

Also, what are the best set ups? What kind of cages are best, outdoor play pens, harnesses, etc?

Any input is greatly appreciated to add to all the book learning I'm doing!
