our minature dwarf lop eared rabbit is approximately 4 years old and my kids have become less interested in looking after it......i couldnt and wouldnt stop caring for her as she is an adorable pet but i also wouldnt mind if it was coming to the end of its natural life.....anyone want a rabbit ? (lol)How long does the average family pet rabbit live ?
4-10 years sorry love!How long does the average family pet rabbit live ?
8 to 10 years or longer if well taken care of.
If your kids wanted a pet rabbit, then you make them take care of it.
It's their responsibility as her owners, she isn't a living toy.
Impress that upon them.
Rabbits are never good pets for children under 10. They require a lot of care and attention, and as you said, your kids have lost interest.
if the rabbit is loved 10-30years now you miss treat it it wii die soon!
oh thats sad. the poor bunny. if you dont want it anymore give it to your local SPCA. they'll give it to someone who does.
If she hasn't been spayed, then I'm afraid it may be soon--at about 5 years, there's a very good chance that she'll get cancer. If she IS spayed, and you're keeping good care of her, then she could live for a good 3-5 years longer. Please don't neglect your bunny, though, as she has needs too! Keep feeding her, changing her water and cage, and try to give her some exercise every day, or at least let her out of her cage.
No, not lol. They are not a disposable pet nor are they appropriate for kids. You should've done your research. Guess what a healthy indoor rabbit can live 6-10 years and some longer.
aww i love rabbits all mine have been adorable. they can live to be between 8-10 years i think if well looked after. if they dont want it anymore let someone else look after it and let him have a happier less neglected life
I know of some pet rabbits living till they are 7 or 8 years old
As a child, I bread Californian and New Zealand White rabbits. These rarely lived beyond six months as Mother used to wake me early on a Saturday morning so that I could select a rabbit and prepare it for cooking.
