Answer
Dear Christina,

Congratulations on your new pal.  What you really need is a New Bunny Primer, and the very best place to learn everything you need to know about the proper care of your bunny is here:

www.rabbit.org/

Start here, with "House Rabbits 101":

You can find tips on litterbox training here:

and

Hope this helps get you started.  New Zealand bunnies are such joyful, lovely rabbits!  I have never known one who didn't have a huge personality and a great sense of humor.  Enjoy your new friend.  I hope you have many years of love and happiness together!
