I have a question, and hello!

[LoveMyBunnies]

I've asked this one everywhere, even the vet, andno one has ever been able to answer me there seem to be a lot ofknowledgeable bunny people here (I've been reading here for a while)so I thought I would ask.

I have a bunny who is a silver martin/dwarf mix. Now I have heard thatdwarfs have shorter lifespans than standards, but I have also hear thatthey live longer My question is, how long is the average lifespanfor a dwarf mix? At his mature weight he is 4 pounds. Also, we have astandard Rex (7 pounds), her expected lifespan would be 7 from whatI've heard, but if that is incorrect please enlighten me.

here is Romeo, the martin/dwarf mix



here is Fawn, the Rex

Hello and Welcome.

From all that I've read the average lifespan is 7 to 10 yearsdepending on care. I never heard that dwarfs mixes live shorter orlonger lives. I am getting a dwarf lop mix and I would hate to think ofher life being shortened. 10 years isn't long enough for me.

Romeo and Fawn are so cute. I love snow bunny pictures.

Ditto My dwarf lived until she was 11

My sister's mini lop lived for 13 years. Breeds can live from 4 years and up, it depends on the individual
