Do rabbits live for long though? Is not 12 years the longest? I noticed cats are extremely hard to maintain after they are 10+ years old, mine is almost 20 years old and its very demanding everyday but she is family and I love her deeply, I can only imagine rabbits could also get that hard when they get 8+ years older?

[@stultuses]

@@SMGJohn 8-10 years, sometimes 12-14 if you are lucky Main thing is feed them lots of good quality hay and greens, give them plenty of space to roam and always a place to hide, they are prey animals and are always worried about being eaten They are really not small kid pets, they are too fragile and they should never be stuck in cages unless it's inside as a security measure for short periods of time I miss my bunnies :-(

[@Ashok_S1992]

Very true Holly. I was driving home and found a bunny on the road in the middle of the night.. i was afraid he might die, so took him and raised until he was big enough like the size of a grown cat. My parents are overprotective and they would not let me keep him. I released him in the wild just like 2 days ago, now that I miss him so much, i am him everywhere all over my house. That unconditional love and bond are something else. I hate my parents for making me do this.

[@hollylazarus9112]

Actually, as someone who has raised rabbits all my life, they are like having a cat or a dog. They have their own personality but they are intelligent and can be taught tricks and develop habits. They have moods and bond. They do prefer a friend like them but will attach to their owners. They live 8-14yrs depending on breed. So consider the long term. They do morn loosing their loved ones.
