Hi Kimberly,
if you plan on walking your new bun with a leash I definitely recommend a harness.  Only for walking though,,never leave it on your rabbit when it's unsupervised because it could get caught on something and panic.
 you can bath them but with extreme restraint,rabbits HATE water,and bathing them is unnecessary.
 the way to tell an approximate age is usually by their teeth...and the shape that they're in...I would do this with a qualified vet.
 Other than that,good luck with your new friend,and Happy Holidays...Elizabeth

Answer
The best food is definately the rabbit pellets you find in pet stores,with the occasional veggie treat.  And straw,or hay is an awsome bedding...although you'll most likely see him sleeping on the hardest flooring around! Mine love sleeping on the wooden shelving they have! Silly things!!take care,Elizabeth
