SOme of my favorite breeds are netherland dwarfs, mini rex, holland lop, mini lop, dutch, and lionhead.
You need 2 rabbits because they are social (preferably male and female as they get along best) and they both need to be spayed/neutered before they are bonded to each other. Rabbits have raging hormones that make them fight with each other and have behavioral problems- neutering/spaying solves this. Bonding can be a bit complicated so for info on that go on Rabbits United Forum.
A good cage is a C&C cage or dog crate. A puppy playpen attached to the cage/dog crate would be even better. but neither is good enough for them to live in. They need plenty of free range time in the house everyday.
Rabbits need a diet of 85-90% hay. The rest of their diet is veg/herbs and pellets. Give a handful of pellets and a handful of veg/herbs a day and otherwise the rabbits should have a unlimited supply of grass hay (Timothy, Orchard Grass, or Coastal).
Rabbits can be very expensive pets due to health problems. Stasis and dental problems for instance can cost quite a lot. So its a good idea to have a vet fund or a credit card in case of expensive unexpected health problems.
