Can rabbits eat "baby carrots"? Also since they are crepuscular should I keep them in a darker room? Or leave them so they know what time of day it is?

Baby carrots are find as a treat for your rabbit but shouldn't be given in large amounts each day, as their primary source of nutrition should be hay. Natural lighting is best for your rabbit, so I wouldn't purposely put him in a darkened room.
