And by the time they reach 4 months, they start to gain confidence and athletic ability while they explore.īecause of this rapid development over a short 4-month period, each of these months in rabbit age is equal to approximately 3 years in human age. Within the first month, they will open their eyes and start to hop around and explore.īy the time rabbits reach 3 months of age, they are like little toddlers, questioning and learning everything about the world around them. They are born with their eyes and ears closed, unable to hop around. Baby rabbitsīaby rabbits reach major developmental milestones at a much faster pace than human babies.
#ANIMAL AGE TO HUMAN AGE FULL#
Then rabbits reach full adulthood at about 1 year old, at which point their development remains steady until old age. Once rabbits reach maturity at four to six months, their development slows down a little. One month in the first stage of the rabbit’s development is equal to 3 human years. That’s why I’ve split the rabbit age to human age chart into three separate sections: the baby years, early maturity, and adult rabbits. However, once rabbits reach adulthood at approximately one year old it’s a lot easier to simply scale the rabbit’s age to a human’s age and get a realistic estimate of where your rabbit is in their life cycle. To get a more reasonable estimate of where rabbits are in their life stage compared to humans, you need to take the rapid growth of their first months and years into account. The reason you can’t just say that one rabbit year is equivalent to 6 human years (or something like that) is that rabbits reach developmental stages at a very different pace than humans do. *** Every year after the first is equal to 6 human years, each rabbit month is half a human year ** Months 5-12 are equal to 1 human year per month *Months 1-4 in rabbit age are equal to 3 human years Rabbit Years to Human Years Chart Rabbit Age For example, larger breeds (10+ pounds) tend to have a slightly shorter lifespan, so the math might look a little different.
This is based on the rabbit life expectancy of 10-12 years for pet rabbits. After which, every rabbit year is equivalent to approximately 6 human years. By the time the rabbit is 1 year old, they are roughly equivalent to 20 human years. However, you can guesstimate their approximate age by paying attention to the age of maturity, life stages, and the overall expected lifespan of rabbits.īecause of a rabbit’s rapid growth in the first year, they are considered about 12 human years when the rabbit is 4 months old. There is no scientific calculation to determine how old your pet would be if they were human. The concept of rabbit years (or pet years in general) to human years is mostly made up.
