First-time rabbit owner: What do I need before bringing my bunny home?

Question

What should I get for a year old rabbit? I’m a first time small pet owner & haven’t brought Mello (pet) home yet because I’m afraid I don’t have everything I need. I’m ordering hay, bedding, pellets & a litter box as well as an outdoor play pen. My friend is giving me a cage. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male

Congrats on your new addition! It looks like you have everything you need. A water bottle wasn't listed, so if you don't have one be sure to pick one up at the local Petco. Rabbit safe chew toys can also be found at the store. Melo can eat as much timothy hay, oat hay or similar grasses as he wants. Do not feed him any alfalfa and limit pellets to about 1/8 cup daily. he can get a cup or two of fresh greens daily as well. If you have any additional questions, you can post them here.
