Well i have a girl rabbit, and one of my best friends has a boy rabbit. They are both dwarf albino's. My friend thinks we should breed them and share the babies between the two of us. Don't get me wrong i'd love to have baby rabbits, but i'm just not sure wether i'm up to looking after baby rabbits. What do you think?

Maybe your friend is thinking of selling them. Right now is a good time to think about that.
Not everyone wants a dog or even a cat to take care of but a small rabbit is a good way to help teach a child responsibility for an animal. They are easier to take care of, no walking or poop to clean up. It much easier to clean up after a rabbit. My granddaughter had a rabbit as a pet for years. She learned to be a more responsible person. She even took it out for walks on a leash. The school let her bring it in for show and tell. You may find them easy to sell this time of year. Especially the ones you have. After all they do make great Christmas gifts.

Do you really want to have baby rabbits? They're helpless when they're young. Of course the mom does all the work, but it still means you have to pay more attention and be careful with the mom.
If you and your friend really want to have more dwarf albino rabbits, then you should do it. However, I think it's irresponsible to breed pets when there are so many in shelters and on the street who need homes. Yes, that even applies to bunnies! I have a pet bunny I got from a shelter (that's him in my avatar) and I know someone who found a rabbit digging through a dumpster for food.
