I think pet rabbits die so easily for a number of reasons:
1) they do not get sufficient food. Rabbits need a certain diet of food, including salt tablets and herbs in order to live
2) cage. Since when do rabbits want to be stuffed in a cage? Give them a pen to run around in to stretch their muscles
3.) companionship. Rabbis will feel depressed if they do not have a companion to talk to
4.) Inconvenient weather. if you constantly change the environment your pet is living in, and he/she is subject to the harsh weather conditions, it will get sick and die.
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS SANITATION. If you do not clean your pet's cage out and bring him/her to vet, it will pass on quicker. Just be clean and healthy with your bunny. And read a book on caring for bunnies before you get one. You don't want you rabbit to be unhealthy, depressed, sick and lonely.

No. Cats don't normally eat pet rabbits.

Do white rabbits live in a safari?
There is more than one species of white rabbit. There are wild white rabbits, and there are pet white rabbits -- these different rabbits live in different places and lead different lives! But, in general: Wild rabbits live underground so they're protected from most predators (although weasels can still get them underground). When rabbits see a predator, they run for their burrows. Every day, though, rabbits must go above ground to eat and exercise, so they're never fully safe from predators. Pet rabbits must be protected from predators. Pet rabbits have been removed from their natural situation: now we humans are responsible for them. Pet rabbits kept in unsafe cages outside are much worse off than wild rabbits, and they have no where to run to: it isn't fair to them, not to protect them. See the related question below about rabbit cages for details and helpful links. The easiest way to protect pet rabbits from predators is by bringing them inside. You can also put work into the outdoor cage/hutch, to make sure predators can't get in. However, it's not just about keeping the predator out: a predator stalking around outside the hutch can frighten a rabbit to death, if it has nowhere to hide.
Do domestic rabbits live longer than wild rabbits?

Dwarf rabbits require the same care as pet rabbits. All pet rabbits require special care because they're so different from cats and dogs, and they have very unique needs. But dwarfs aren't any different from other rabbits: they require the same kinds of care. See the related question below for details. Anything you read about pet rabbits applies to dwarfs as well.
