Hi there and welcome
A cheat sheet for rabbit care at the top of the forum page has somegreat links and information on it, but a few things off the top of myhead just before I go to work -
I don't know if it's actually possible to teach rabbits tricks, thoughbooks have been written saying you can, but rabbits can learn simplewords and routines like when it's time to go back to the cage (some aremore amenable than others at this :?).
It's fairly easy to litter train a rabbit, though much easier oncethey've been spayed/neutered as before that when they get sexuallymature most males and some females will spray mark their territory.
Is your rabbit male or female? If you don't know there are some goodposts on here for finding out the sex though it's still esy to get itwrong, especially with a young rabbit. Do you know how old he/she is?Young ones tend to be much more hooliganish than older ones, mostrabbits calm with age.
Spaying/neutering makes a happier rabbit, and helps with hormonallylinked behaviours like spray marking and territorial aggression, not aproblem in some rabbits, but something to be aware of. If your rabbitis female it also removes the risk of uterine cancer which is very highin unspayed unbred females.
Safe foods and woods to chew are in the cheat sheet, the trick to alldiet changes in rabbits is to do it slowly or you can end up with realproblems.
Things dangerous to rabbits include electric wires - these are a magnetto rabbits and may kill if bitten through, but at the very least it'llstop whatever piece of equipment it was attached to working :?.
Also anything syntheticthat can be chewed andeaten(including plastic bags, carpet and material) this cancause a blockage that is likely to be fatal to the rabbit and at thevery least extremely expensive and stressful to cure.
Household chemicals can be very dangerous to rabbits too.
Young rabbits chew on just about anything they can get their teeth on,this includes carpet, furniture, walls, books, wires and anything lefton the floor. A firm No followed by a spray from a water pistol orsimilar is a useful training technique and some rabbits won't chew onthings wiped over with tabasco sauce or bitter apple spray but carefulsupervised watching is necessary for some months while your rabbit isyoung and loose.
Most of us find out the hard way that a rabbit can get to places you could have sworn was safe
.
It depends on your rabbits preference but good rabbit toys are emptycardboard looroll tubes, cardboard boxes to hide in and/or chew (youcan cut holes for him/her to jump through) just make sure it'suncoloured untreated boxes, a box filled with hay or sand to digin,hard plastic baby toys, not the soft ones which may geteaten, pieces of untreated natural wood to chew, apple wood is verygood. Untreated wicker baskets or balls, hard plastic or wooden balls,bits of unbleached untreated paper (like lining paper or brown paper).
Some people are worried about their rabbit ingesting too much cardboardor paper so you can do it in moderation or make your own decision onthose.
Having said all that a house rabbit is a delightful intelligentamusinglittle companion and well worth the initial bunnyproofing and supervision necessary.
I hope you can post a picture (or more) of your little one, there arepeople on here who can give you a good guess as to what kind of rabbityou have and how old s/he is. There arequite a few guys whopost on here with house rabbits so hope you'll be another one andwelcome
