8-12 yrs

Basic Rabbit Facts (http://www.rabbit.org/care/facts.html)

Except if you are Bugs Bunny, then you are going on 64 and still counting :)

It depends on whether they are indoors or out. Outdoor rabbits have a life expectancy of around 3 - 5 years, indoor 8 - 12, depending on the breed.

Also, spayed/neutered rabbits have a longer life expentancy then unaltered rabbits, epecially females. An unaltered female usually only lives around 3 years, unaltered females are prone to cancer.

So, if you want you rabbit to live longer, have him/her altered, and keep him/her indoors. Also, a healthy diet and exercise is a must.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask, I have 4 rabbits of my own, and have become quite an expert about their care.

Good luck.
