Do you have any rabbit rescues near you or rabbits available through shelters like SPCA?  Perhaps your parents would be open to the idea of fostering a rabbit or a pair so the whole family will get an idea of what it is like having rabbits indoors?  In the months following Easter there is unfortunately an influx of rabbits coming into shelters.  Easter gifts that people are getting overwhelmed with or baby rabbits that are reaching a messy, puberty age.

The benefit of fostering first is the animals are usually already desexed so you get a more true idea of what their character is like and you’re less likely having to deal with hormonal behaviours (which contribute to smell and messiness for a while).

Some places might even offer things like exercise pens you can loan.

Please do not specify your age here, but if you are a minor and would like to foster, you would need your parents to be the ones to apply. So technically they’d be responsible (and financially responsible) but you can make deal with them that you’ll take on the care required.

I would discourage you from getting a rabbit if the only way your parents would allow it is if it lived outdoors. Plus, I’m doubtful a rescue will allow you to adopt a rabbit (or pair) if they knew your intentions were to house it outside.

I do agree with JG, if you foster a rabbit, it will give you the opportunity to have a rabbit live inside your house without the commitment. If your parents decide a rabbit isn’t right for your household, then the foster will simply go back to the rescue after the foster period is over. No harm done.
