Rabbits

[I luv herfrds]

Save me I am losing my mind.
My son now has 3 rabbits and I need to know how long does a rabbit live for?
I mean if I don't kill them.

depends how well you take care of them. I had rabits when i was young and i got up to like 30 of them in an old brooder coop building. They live like 8 years i think if you take good care of them. If they getsick they are as good as dead. Don't let them reproduce becasue you will have rabbits up the wazoo so fast your head will spin. They can have 8 babys a litter about every month and a half so keep the male seperate unless you like to eat rabbit or can sell them somewhere.

There are 2 males and one female. One male is fixed the other isn't.
We keep the males away from the female.
My son is going to show the intact male and female at the fair this year.

According to what I can find on the internet, domesticated rabbits live an average of 10 years, but that can vary depending on breed, diet, local weather, etc. Perhaps you've already done so, but if you google "rabbits" or "rabbit care" you'll find more information than you could possibly want. ;-)
