Yes, she is still young: apparently she will be one year old at the end of this month.

Aw, she's beautiful!

Rabbits are coprophages. They make two kinds of poop...hard pellets and soft. They eat the soft poop, usually right from the source. Just thought you should be warned :lol:
If you have carpets anywhere, keep her nails short and smooth--they will get caught in the carpet pile and potentially rip.
Bugs Bunny is fiction--bunnies actually don't like carrots very much at all, but they LOVE carrot tops!
Do not leave unrestrained doggie and bunny alone together, EVER. No matter what, even if bunny is in a cage. Just don't.
I think everything else was pretty well covered.
Congratulations, and enjoy!

Yeah, the former owner warned me about rabbits partaking in the soft pellet buffet. :barf: We have hardwood on the main level floors, where she'll spend most of her time when she's free-ranging indoors.
Don't worry, @windwalkingwolf , Lila and Aiden will NEVER be left together unattended. Same goes for the chickens, even though he is SO good with them when we are all out in the yard together.
She's still in the main bathroom. Progress has been made: she let me stroke the spot between her nose and the top of her head after I offered my hand to sniff. DH is working on an indoor hutch for her that will sit in the living room, complete with a hidey-hole house that is safe from everything. Except us. lol!. It's not done yet, but his design is great, and I'm patient, and Lila is not quite ready for stage two integration yet (I don't think).
