how long is a bunny's lifespan?

Depends on a lot of factors? Is the rabbit spayed or neutered? Is it indoor or outdoor? A fixed indoor rabbit can live 8-10 years. http://www.rabbit.org

We have a 10 year old male Holland lop rabbit who is partially blind, but he's still living. We also had a male Netherland dwarf who was 4 years and 5 months old when he died. We have a little female dwarf bunny who is 5 years old and a little 3 year old male mini lop. Most experts put the average lifespan from 6 to 10 years. The oldest rabbit known lived 15 years, but that is very rare.

Rabbits generally live 8 to 12 years (if they do not develop cancer or contract pasteurella). The oldest rabbit in the Guiness Book of World Records died at the age of 18. Teenage rabbits are common. Larger breeds generally have shorter lifespans than dwarf breeds. Purebred rabbits generally have shorter lifespans than mixed breeds. Lops (all kinds) and Netherland dwarfs are known for their longevity. Rabbits lucky enough to live to an old age (12+) often die of heart attacks
Hope this helps

The average life span of a rabbit is 5-10 years, but it improves with a spayed or neutered animal. The place you want to look at for specifics on this is http://www.rabbit.org. Tons of good info there.

I grew up with rabbits, the longest one lived was 5 yrs old, and he was very well taken care of. keep in mind, they stink really bad if you dont clean there cage out every 3rd day I never had a cage for mine though. they also need excersise, i had a ball that you place them in and they can roam around the house before i house trained him.
Mine was also house trained......lol you can teach you rabbit to go in the litter box, but be careful with the wires they like to chew them so I bought special tubing to put around the wires in the house.

I've had my rabbits since 4th grade. I'm in 8th grade now. So about 5 years.

average: 10 years. That is if he/she is neutered/spayed. This really helps them to live longer.
