In the wild, bunnies live not so long – about three years. They die from the clutches and teeth of predators, from rains, flooding their mink and from a dangerous coccidosis disease.

Decorative and dwarf bunnies have weaker immunity, weaker health and live an average of five years. But large bunnies , as a rule, meat breeds, live longer. Let’s look at what breeds are long-livers.
