How long are rabbits taken care of?

Answer 1

Rabbits need time outside of their hutch every day so they can exercise, play, and socialize. Without this time, rabbits become unhealthy, bored, and depressed. You can also use this time to observe your rabbit's behaviour and appearance, and catch signs of illness or injury early and avoid emergencies.

How much time a rabbit needs outside the cage (or hutch, or whatever enclosure the rabbit is kept in) depends on how large and stimulating the cage in (what sorts of toys and play structures are in it). As a bare minimum, let your rabbit out for at least 3 hours, but rabbits in smaller cages should have more time outside.

Make sure that wherever you let the rabbit outside the cage is safe. Look for things that could hurt the rabbit (or that the rabbit could hurt) and keep them out of reach.

Answer 2

12 years

Pet rabbits have a normal lifespan of 8-10 years, but they can live up to 12, 13, even 14 years. Smaller breeds tend to live longer than larger breeds.

Generally speaking, the better you care for your rabbit (by providing a healthy lifestyle and regular vet care), the longer he or she will live (although, of course, misfortune sometimes just happens).
