Old bunny: needs vibes and advice

My bunny is 9 years old and will have his 10th birthday in June I am just looking for some advice on how to keep him heathly and well because he was my first ever bunny and I really don't want to loose him:cry:
 
I'm sure whatever you've been doing so far has been great to get him to this age. :)
Lots of hay. If he's outside make extra sure he's warm in the winter. Maybe with straw as well because it's a better insulator. Keep an eye on him for anything that seems out of the ordinary. If he has trouble moving or cleaning it could be arthritis. Teeth issues play up a bit more when they're older so watch his eating and pooing.

I don't think there is anything special you should be doing now, just general care and an extra watchful eye for any problems to catch them early. :)
 
I've no experience of older buns, but you might get some ideas by looking at Rainbow Rabbits Retirement Home website. They specialise in elderly (and special needs) buns.
