🕐 Understanding Rabbit Lifespan
With proper care, indoor rabbits typically live 8-12 years. Some rabbits have been known to live up to 15 years!
Factors That Affect Lifespan:
- 🏠 Indoor vs Outdoor: Indoor rabbits live significantly longer (8-12 years) compared to outdoor rabbits (2-3 years) due to protection from predators, weather, and disease.
- 🥬 Diet Quality: Proper nutrition with unlimited hay, limited pellets, and fresh vegetables supports longevity and prevents common health issues.
- ✂️ Spaying/Neutering: Fixed rabbits live longer due to reduced risk of reproductive cancers and hormone-related health problems.
- 👨⚕️ Veterinary Care: Regular checkups catch health issues early. Rabbits hide illness, making preventive care critical.
- 🧬 Breed: Smaller breeds generally live longer than giant breeds. Mixed breeds often have fewer genetic health issues.
- 🏃 Exercise: Daily exercise prevents obesity and keeps joints, muscles, and organs healthy throughout life.
