    Rabbit lifespan varies depending on a variety of factors including breed, genetics, diet and living environment. Generally speaking, the lifespan of a pet rabbit usually ranges from 5 to 10 years, but there are some exceptions.


    Small breed rabbits often live longer, reaching 8 to 12 years or more. Large breed rabbits may have a slightly shorter lifespan, usually around 5 to 8 years.


    In addition to breed factors, the rabbit's diet and living environment also have an important impact on its lifespan. Providing a proper diet, regular veterinary check-ups, good living conditions and moderate exercise can help extend your rabbit's lifespan.


    It's important to note that this is a general lifespan range, each rabbit is unique and actual lifespans may vary. Make sure you give your rabbit good care and affection, including providing a proper diet, moderate exercise, regular veterinary checkups and providing a safe and comfortable living environment to help them live healthy lives longer.
