Enter your rabbit's age to see the human equivalent — based on veterinary and House Rabbit Society consensus.
Rabbits age fastest in their first year: a 1-year-old rabbit is roughly equivalent to a 21-year-old human. By age 2 that is about 27 human years. From then on, each rabbit year adds about 6 human years. Because of this early spurt, rabbits reach adulthood and old age much faster than people do.
The chart below shows the human-age equivalent for rabbits aged 1–12 years, using the same consensus formula as the calculator.
| Rabbit age | Human age |
|---|---|
| 1 years | 21 years |
| 2 years | 27 years |
| 3 years | 33 years |
| 4 years | 39 years |
| 5 years | 45 years |
| 6 years | 51 years |
| 7 years | 57 years |
| 8 years | 63 years |
| 9 years | 69 years |
| 10 years | 75 years |
| 11 years | 81 years |
| 12 years | 87 years |
Indoor rabbits typically live 8–12 years. Most rabbits are considered adults from about 1 year old, middle-aged around 4–5, and senior from about 6 years old, depending on breed and care.
No. The first year of a rabbit's life is the fastest — a 1-year-old rabbit is roughly 21 human years, not 7. The old rule wildly underestimates early aging.
About 21 years — rabbits mature very quickly and are essentially adults by 1 year of age.
About 27 human years. After age 2, each rabbit year adds roughly 6 human years.
Indoor, well-cared-for rabbits typically live 8–12 years. Smaller breeds and spayed/neutered rabbits often live longer.
Around 6 years old for most rabbits, though larger breeds may reach the senior stage a little earlier.
