Healthy pet rabbits can live for 10–12 years, but sadly many bunnies have a much shorter lifespan due to disease. They thrive on an appropriate, high-fiber diet, as well as a clean living area, a low-stress environment, and plenty of space to exercise. Vaccinations against common fatal illnesses are essential.
Because rabbits are prey animals, they often won’t show symptoms even of serious disease until it is too late, so it‘s worth having a clue what to look out for. This means you can always be alert to the smallest of signs that may indicate something’s amiss, know what’s normal for your bunny, and nip problems in the bud. We also recommend investing in some of the best pet insurance to help offset costs in the event you need to take your bunny to the vet.
