What is the lifespan of an outdoor rabbit in a cage?

In: Care of Rabbits [Edit categories]

Answer:

One Answer: Normal rabbit lifespan is 3 to 5 years. I had one that lived to 10 years but that is one rabbit in thousands.

Another Answer: Actually, it's quite normal for rabbits to live 10 years, if they're well taken care of. 3 years is an extremely short life for a rabbit -- that's like a person dying at 20. The average lifespan for a pet rabbit is 8 to 10 years, and they can live up to 12, 13, even 14 years!
