How long do European Rabbits live?

Answer 1

Rabbit lifespans can vary depending on conditions and breed.

Smaller rabbits (netherland dwarfs etc) tend to have longer life spans than the large breeds (flemish Giants, French Lops etc).

Smaller Rabbits have been known to live to 13-14 years when kept as a house rabbits and well cared for. The average lifespan is about 8-9 years however.

Larger breeds can live to about 8-9 year in optimal conditions, although their larger size can make them very prone to health problems, especially heart conditions.

Answer 2

European Rabbits in the wild have a short lifespan because they are a very common prey animal.

Pet rabbits (domesticated European Rabbits) have an average lifespan of 8 to 10 years, but they can live longer (although, rabbits older than 13 years are quite unusual). Rabbits are delicate and unique creatures and many pet bunnies die at a young age because they have not been properly cared for, or sometimes because of genetic problems.
10-15 years

Answer 3

All pet rabbit breeds were originally bred from the European Rabbit.

Pet rabbits generally live 8-10 years; they can live longer, but over 13 is rare. Generally, little breeds live longer than bigger breeds.

Answer 4

European rabbits typically live for 4-6 years in the wild, but can live up to 10 years in captivity with proper care. Various factors such as predation, diseases, and availability of food can affect their lifespan.
