Question
Hello

How long do dwarf rabbits live?

What would be the best age to have one neutered?

Answer
Hi,

Rabbits live on average for about 5-7 years but they can live til the age of 12 or 13.

A buck can be neutered at the age of about 14-16 weeks. Some vets prefer to leave it until they are 5 months because surgery is riskier on younger animals.

A doe can be neutered at the age of 4 months but many vets prefer to leave it until they are 6 months old.

Hope this Helps
