Typically, the normal lifespan of an English lop rabbit is around 10 years, but some may be less than 10 years and some may exceed 10 years. The lifespan of the English lop rabbit is closely related to the way the breeder raises it.
Precautions for breeding:
1. When adult British lop-eared male rabbits meet, they will chase each other and bite each other; when female rabbits are together, they will also bite each other. When male and female rabbits are together, they live in harmony. Therefore, when raising, try not to keep adult male rabbits or adult female rabbits together.
2. After buying a lop-eared rabbit in the UK, first feed it with coccidiosis medicine to prevent coccidiosis. Coccidiosis occurs acutely, and many young rabbits die of coccidiosis, followed by diarrhea.
3. Rabbits have no sense of satiety. Control their food intake to avoid dying.
4. The fur of the British Lop Rabbit is very thick and can withstand severe cold, but it is very afraid of heat. Due to the underdeveloped sweat glands, it cannot regulate body temperature by sweating. When the outside temperature is too high, pay attention to cooling it down, otherwise it will affect its health (the suitable temperature for adult rabbits is 15-25 °C, and the temperature for young rabbits is 30-32 °C).
