how long do rabbits live for?
Answers:
The average age of all rabbits is 7 to 8 years, and 10 years isn't unusual.
However, many rabbits die at 3 or 2 or even 1 year of age, particularly through digestive problems, because their digestive systems are very long and fragile, and it's important that they are fed correctly -

And analogously, there are rabbits at the opposite extreme of the 'average' spectrum, who live up to 15 years or even older. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the oldest bunn (in Australia by the way ;) lived to 18 years and 10 months -

We personally know a breeder who had the oldest bunn we have ever known as yet, who lived to 12 years of age :-)
Here's some interesting info on rabbits and age -

Rabbits live an average of 5-10 years - potential life span is up to 15 years. Time to have lots more bunnies!
hello there.. all rabbits live for around 5-10 years.. pretty long time I must say.. rabbit are such a cute pet to own..I have one at home is now 6 month old.. very cute.. =)
wild rabbits (i think) only live about 2years, but our domestic bunnies can live up to 15yrs, I have a friend whose rabbit just had his 14th birthday!
Depends on a lot of factors. Are your rabbits spayed or neutered? Unpsayed females have a very high cancer rate. Are they inside or outside. Inside rabbits can live 8-10 or longer sometimes. Outside rabbit live about 5 years.
about 7 to 8 years
