Usually 5-6 but my cousin had one that lived to 13 and would have kept living but there was an unexpected artic snap (she lives in a northern state) and she couldn’t get home in time to bring it in.
If she is desexed, she can live as long as 10 years…maybe longer if youre lucky, but if not, around 5-6 years (a lot of unspayed female rabbits die of various reproductive related cancers)
Some breeds live longer then others. I myself had two rabbits which were 10 and 11 years old when they passed away; the 11 year old might have been a bit older as I found him on my front lawn and he was already full grown. It’s important to have them spayed, it will increase their life expectancy. The 10 year was a netherland dwarf and she was about 2 months old when I got her, we thought she was a he, until she went into heat and pulled her fur out to build a nest. I had her spayed (she was still very young) when she was about 6 years old she developed a cancerous growth on her chest, I had my vet surgically remove it and hoped that the cancer hadn’t spread (I knew females if not fixed have a higher risk of cancer); I was lucky the cancer was just localized to the tumour and she lived another 4 years. If yours is spayed and fed well you may have a long time yet; if she’s not spayed yet it’s not too late.

4+ years -it depends on how well you take care of the rabbit.

my frend’s rabbit lived for 9 years… they live 5 years on average… but they could live up to 10 if they were really healthy.

well with proper care up to 15 it really depends on the breed and environment and food but i’m sure ur bunny will live for longer!
