I did think about rabbits....but.........I don't know....they don't excite me lol. but they sure are adorable
Ok, if you want exciting then I do have to tell you about mine:
I had pet rabbits growing up (the first was actually my brother's but I guess he lost interest).
The first, when I was in primary school, we ended up neutering and setting free,
I think my parents expected him to be eaten or shot,
but he came back at after-school-time every day,
ate a bowl of kibble or carrot or whatever I had
and let me show him movies on my fisher price toys.
I remember the soft spot behind the ears - so soft you almost can't feel the fur.
Eventually he collected a harem of female wild rabbits who hung out on the lawn like a charicature of the '70s.
Probably helped to keep the rabbit population down (no babies).
The next was a dwarf and a vicious little tyrant.
I loved him but
he chased the local Doberman guard dog,
had my teenage brothers up on the car to avoid bloody bites to the Achilles heels,
and hated all males of any species.
But he was very attached to me.
He died, arthritic and ancient, in the throes of passion
(I thought he was too old for it and put him in with the females for one cold night).
A rabbit is alert, responsive and pretty quiet
(they do thump danger, grit teeth and grunt as well as body language),
they come when called and like to be around you.
If you have two, or a cat who grew up with them, they're fun to watch playing.
Even one likes to frolic.
A bunny is what you get when you put them in a cage all their life: they avoid being picked up or freeze, motionless when you do pick them up, and generally act like scared but docile rabbits but all the time.
Bunnies and rabbits not similar in my experience.
But the only difference is the attention you give them.
I know others have indoor rabbits and have met them.
They seemed like a nice house pet.
Ours were mostly outside, no fences, but a hutch for when I wasn't home.
Occasionally I brought them inside and they were 90% fine but things to watch for:
cable insulation is very nice to nibble, so keep it off the floor,
some male rabbits like to jump into the air spinning and spraying as they go (or was that just my nut-job dwarf?),
the majority of pee and poo goes in the chosen corner and if you want it to stay that way ... maybe they get one room that's always theirs and the rest of the house is only when you let them?
You get a lot of the same issues when raising a puppy.
I'd get a rabbit if I were looking for a pet now.
