Life stages

Hi,

I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me the life stages of these four Rabbits:

1.) Gender: Male
Breed: Lion haired
Birth date: April 1995

2.) Gender: Female
Breed: French Lop
Birth date: July 2007

3.) Gender: Female
Breed: Lion haired
Birth date: December 2002

4.) Gender: Female
Breed: Mini Lopped
Birth date: August 2005

By life stage I mean like Neonate (I think thats it), Geriatric or any other terms that you would use for their life stage, as I'm not really sure about the terms or what those four Rabbits would be under.

I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you for your time,
Stevj016.
 
Im guessing this is college work or something? :? I have no idea what you mean :lol: :oops: Sorry im no help xXx

EDT: Just looked again, you said your not sure of the terms... Neonate means newborn, Geriatric means old... So do you mean if the bunny was born at the date you have given, what would it be at in life stages if it was still alive now? xXx

Hi,

Thank you all for your replies. Becky86 thats exactly what I mean, but not just Neonate or Geriatric, those are just the only terms I know. Thanks bunlover, that really helps, but does anyone know the proper terms for their life stages?

I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you for your time,
