Last week, I had this little fluffy boy put into my arms for 5 minutes at a rescue centre he is quite lovely:-

If (and this is a big IF, since he might not still be available when we are ready to take on another) we do end up with another ‘stubbornly single’ bunny rather than a pair, I’d like to think that it will be him as I can’t stop thinking about him and how i would call him Fig or Bramble etc...
However I have only ever kept fully domesticated rabbits, never any with full or partial wild genes in them. Mentally I am up for it, but someone has since mentioned to me that he would be at greater health risk (heart attack?) because he is a wild offspring. Truth be told, it never even crossed my mind that there may be something different about him but now I can’t stop thinking about it and now I am a little wary :? Of course nobody can give a definite answer about how long any individual rabbit will live aside from the ‘average lifespan’ based on breed/size, but I feel like I may be tempting fate if he is indeed at higher risk of certain things.
Any advice at all on if there are actually any differences in health and lifespan or is this person misinforming me?
Thank you if anyone can help or share their experiences
