Answer
Depending on  your area, I wouldn't plan on getting rich in the rabbit industry.  The market is not good these days and the cost of caring for the rabbits exceeds what you can make by selling them.

I suggest getting a book called Raising Rabbits the Modern Way.  You can  probably order it from Amazon.com for about $12.00 or so.  It is a great handbook to answer all of your questions.  Since my rabbitry is small and I serve only local intrest it would be hard for me to advise you on a larger scale.

As for the inside or outside question, I live in Ohio where it reaches temps below zero and above 90 degrees F and my rabbits are outside with only covers to give them shade and shelter and wind block to keep them dry and out of the stronger winds.
