I don't know much about breeds, I am more into rescues and end up with mixes. Are you planning on keeping your bunny indoors? I would highly recomend it. I have this cage and love it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=63513&item=3984090851&rd=1
I keep most of it covered with old sheets or blankets and leave one corner uncovered for their toilet area. I have a huge out door dog kennel for them to play in when I am home to check on them. Bunnies like lots of toys. Mine seem to like things they can throw around and make a bunch of noise with. Infant toys are great. I stock up at thrift stores. Cardbord boxes and paper bags are a big hit too. I feed mine half pellets and half fresh foods. There is a site called petproductsbynature that sells great wood chews.

this is a great site, lots of valuable info.

Well, have fun with your new baby!

No problem! You'll have to post photos (if you are able) when you get your bunny.
