mine's also 11 and apart from the odd bout of doziness still acts like he did a few years ago. Still prone to bouts of naughtiness and a mad five minutes (if he thinks I'm not looking). Gets more affectionate as he gets older which is a real plus!

I wouldn't feel bad, adverage bun life span is 5-7 years depending on the breed, and general living conditions. My favourite childhood bunny, a little dutch named Baza
was only 2 when he passed on! It was tragic, we went on holiday and left the neighbours to look after him, there was a heat wave whilst we were away (hottest in a decade) and he died of dehydration and sun stroke I never forgave the neighbours for this. :evil:
My piggie gramps was 7 when he passed. He had bowel cancer
