I wish they did this for different breeds ie, for example the largest of breeds have shorter lifespans then say the smallest of breeds, although health can play a part in it to x

Yes, that's what I was thinking too. I believed that Artie at 8 yrs 9 months was very old for a dwarf lop yet he'd only be in his late 60s according to that chart. I believed he'd be more like 85 in rabbit years given that life expectancy for his breed.
 
I don't really believe that. Very, very few buns make it to 10. A lot of humans reach 75!
 
All four of my buns are 63 plus. They're older than me! :lol:

we were told cecile wouldn't live long because she's so tiny.
 
Our last vet told us that larger rabbits have a shorter life expectancy, but Iggy was large and made 9. I'm hoping Betty and Walt make a similar age :) Betty and I are nearly the same age! It's weird to see Walt as a 27 year old though. He is just a little baby still to me (he was only about 9 months old when we got him). :love:

The can do, but there will always be exceptions. I think I read its because giants have the same size hearts as smaller buns so there is more strain on it.
 
So, Amy and I are about the same age, 21? Awesome, we could go clubbing! ...If I ever went clubbing.
 
Wow Slipper & Blackavar are 33 & Blueberry's 21. Jacquetta, Lady Katherine & Cherry are between 16 & 21.
