How old do bunnys usally live???

just wondering
Answers:
indoor bunnys can live to be 10-12yrs.. outside bunnies have a shorter life span, like 8-9yrs. Mine was indoor only and lived to be 12!!
Rabbits aren't cats. This is a cat-chat room. But to answer your question, 5-7 years unless you scare them to death, and you can. They are prone to stress and heart attacks.
it depends on the breed and the care that you give them.

Dwarf breeds "Tend" to live between 4 and 6 years old.

Mine passed away in november at 8 years old from kidney failure. My friend's was 9 and died from cancer.

The larger breeds can live up to 8 to 10 years old, I've seen 14 years.

Its all going to depend on-

do you feed it all the right food, are you making sure to take it to the vet when healthy (for yearly exams) AND when sick? Are you keeping track that she's not too thin nor obese? is she an indoor or outdoor rabbit, are you giving her plenty of attention and playtime? if he/she isn't going to breed did you have them spayed/neutered to protect against reproductive organ cancers... and so on.

if you do all the right things... then they tend to outlive the suggested "Lifespan"
