Rabbits can, like any animal, live for a varying amount of time. The average household pet rabbit can live anything between 7-12 years depending on breed, size and numerous other factors. However long a rabbit does live, it is a big commitment owning one and should not be taken lightly. Many potential owners have the mistaken belief that rabbits only live for a few years, when the reality is they can live for much longer than that. This might come from the fact that wild rabbits tend to live much shorter lives because of the additional stress and danger of living in the wild. Rabbits gestation period is about 31 days, and are born blind and without fur. Once born, they are weaned off their mother’s milk after around 8 weeks. Surprisingly they reach sexual maturity very quickly, and can start to reproduce within around 4 months of birth in some cases. This is probably a result of the dangers of living in the wild, so they have evolved to be able to reproduce as quickly as possible. The oldest ever recorded domestic rabbit lived to 19 years old! Of course, there may have been an older unrecorded rabbit but 19 years is an incredibly achievement. As you can see, a rabbit life span can range from short to very long, which is something all potential rabbit owners should be aware of before they buy. |
