What age can rabbit live to?

[Howard cordingley]

I wondered how you can tell a rabbits age and their life expectancy? I have had Jasper two years now snd he was found in parkland 2 years ago. I took him in and he has to have regular teeth filing. Can’t eat hay etc and lives on softened quality pellets. A daily grape or two which he likes. My vet agree he’s an old boy around 10/11. Attached recent pics of him. He’s like a cat love being cuddled not and ounce of aggression in him.

I think the oldest rabbit records was almost 19 years old, but on average for old rabbits, I think 10-15 years

We had a mini Rex that was 3 weeks shy of 19--oldest bun we know of. Had a few make it to 15 and 2 hit 16. Mostly though, 10 to 12 seemed our average. Depends on the health and care.

Amazing to read these old bunnies living so long.

Our crew usually do alright to about 13 1/2 years of age. All are indoor, all are sp/eutered. All receive daily exercise time. Cataracts have occurred in our elder buns. Mobility slows down, and metacam is Rx'd for arthritic concerns. All see a DVM if there's a medical concern. Our DVM is seeing a 15 y.o. rex.

Nancy, you make me smile with those ages!

Actually, it's Larry--bought Nancy a new computer and just took it over--so lazy I didn't change it, and just added my name under the Member tag. And yes, we are amazed at how long most have lived--neutered, inside only, veggies and unlimited orchard grass. Our avatar bunny, Nikki (Bunnicula) was the only one with cataracts--she ran around the room as nothing gets moved but it did make it easier to put her up--she passed at 14, sad day.
