Wild Rats. In the wild, the life expectancy for a rat is much lower: 95 percent of wild rats die before they reach their first birthday. A 1-year-old rat would be around 30 years old in human terms. The most common cause of death in wild rats comes from predators, such as owls, hawks and foxes.
The House Rabbit Life Expectancy. Taken from the books 'The Essential Rabbit' & 'The Rabbit Handbook'. Different rabbit breeds have different life expectancies, and of course, any number is just an average. Rabbits should be expected to live at least 5 years; they can live as long as 15 years. Medium and large sized rabbits tend to live longer than dwarf rabbits. Breeding rabbits can easily produce litters until they are three to four years old.
