For dogs, it's 7 years for every year. I've always wondered what it might be for rabbits? Is it the same or is it different? This might be a bit of a stupid question but I just really want to know! :?

I want to know too!
Hi,
I found this website with a lady who reckons it's about 10 years. (She discusses that her rabbit is 6.5years old, which makes him a spry 65 year old man). But I can't find any other sites to verify the fact.

I'm not sure you can really do it as simply as that - rabbits mature relatively young, hence we refer to that hormonal period between 4-6 months old as the "teenage" phase :lol: As a rough guide it sounds about right I guess, but there is so much variation in the lifespan of individual rabbits and between different breeds, that it's definitely not an exact science.

I suppose you just have to go with rough estimates. The ave. life span of a rabbit is about 7, so they say, and for humans it's about 70, a bit more. So 10 would sound about right, but like you said, there is tons of variation in both humans and rabbits, so who knows lol.

I asked this question a few weeks ago, someone told me it was about 13 years I think.
