Rabbits Age?

Ok so I have a rabbit that we found on my street. We took him to the animal rescue league and they said he is a tame pet and very healthy. I just want to know how can you tell a rabbits age? I would like to know how old he is

Answer #1

rabbits’ hair turns gray just like humans. If the rabbit has some gray hair, he is probably around four or five years old. Also, see how much energy the rabbit has. If he is unable to sit still in your lap, he is less than two years old. If he seems very calm and can just sit and be sroked for hours, he is probably getting older. Sometimes staining on the teeth can be an indication of age. Hold the rabbit by the skin on the back of the neck tightly and flip him over. This wont hurt him, but this way he can’t bite you. Gently separate the left half of the lip from the right to look at the teeth. The whiter, the younger.
