They Can Live For Up To 12 Years
Just like any other species, a rabbit has distinct nutritional needs, and we are aware that what we feed our pet bunnies directly impacts how long they live. A rabbit's entire health and nutrition are intertwined, and if it isn't getting the right amounts of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other nutrients in its diet, it won't be healthy and won't live as long.
According to Fetch by WebMD, the majority of domestic rabbits can live for eight years or even up to 12 years. Domestic rabbits have secure hiding places and a steady supply of food, in contrast to wild rabbits who must contend with risk factors like stress and predators in the wild.
Like dogs, different kinds of rabbits have variable life spans, claims Fetch by WebMD. In general, purebred rabbits live shorter lives than rabbits of mixed breeds, while larger rabbit breeds live shorter lives than dwarf types. But there are exceptions, and every rabbit is unique. More so than genetics, how well you care for your rabbit will determine how long it lives.
