How long do dwarf lops live?

Hi all,

I was in PaH today and a manager said that they don't live that long compared to smaller breeds? I have 2 dwarf lops and just wondered how long they normally live for? They have both been neutered (the male) and spayed (the female).

Thanks :)
 
Bunster was 9

Bunster was 9 when he died. Buffy, his widow, is now 6, so we adopted Sausage, also now 6, as her new husbun. He lost his wifey-bun aged 5, but she was up-eared. There can't be many reasons why lops would live less long than up-eared buns, surely, unless the 'blind spot' disadvanges them biologically even while pets? I would have thought that if in-breeding and other genetic faults were minimised there'd be no difference for dwarf lops. Do tell me if I'm being naive?
 
Sunshine was 7 and Sweep was 9. I don't know about Summer for sure, but she was as old as the hills.
 
i dont think theres really a set age limit, it all depends on genetics and luck :shock:

alvin is 3 and seems to be going strong now we have his tummy issues under control :D:D:D
