Beware though if you plan on letting your rabbit roam around the room.

Rabbits love to chew everything in sight. I've had my rabbits accidentally chewing on a power cord before until exposed the live wire, almost chewed the live wire. They can be very destructive. And a plastic container is definitely not suitable, unless you rig the container. You cannot keep a rabbit like you keep a hamster. You can;t put the bedding and let the rabbit sit on the bedding, its not hygienic and when the rabbit pees and the bedding gets wet (before it dries up), the rabbit will be uncomfortable and stressed. Believe me as I have kept a paralyzed rabbit for a short while, it is a full-time dedication to keep the rabbit dry. And a damp rabbit can get quite smelly.

And think about your own personal hygiene as well... if you really want a rabbit, talk to your housemates and see if they are open to the idea of having a rabbit in the living room instead of keeping it in your room, and get a proper cage.

Also you have to consider, the rabbit may be small when young but when it gets bigger you need a bigger cage for it. And an improper cage e.g. plastic container, the rabbit will just jump out and run away.

definitely too small for a rabbit and totally inappropriate.
