What is the average life span of my rabbit? Other Pet Discussions
My rabbit lives outside in a large hutch, with two attached runs to it from where I have bought them and secured them on. She gets locked in her hutch at night, and has a protective cover over it to protect from wind, rain and others. However, she loves rain so can't stop that in the daytime. She has a heat pad in her indoor area for cold nights. She has plenty of toys and interaction, and she is soon to have a new buddy. What is her average life span? I heard outdoor rabbits have life span of 1 year, but she is already one years old and I do not want her to come to the end of her days now!! She is very active also.I hope she lives to the age of 5 at least, is this realistic?Sorry...but keeping a rabbit indoor is impractical when you have other animals etc. Don't tell me how to 'care' for my rabbit, as I give my rabbit a lot of care and attention which she needs. I am a good pet owner and do not like stupid people telling me how to care for my rabbit because I keep her outside-of which is the most enriching because outside is their natural habitat, natural foods (grasses, hays) etc. (LaLaLa)
