Do rabbits remember their old owners?

Can a seller pass an older rabbit as younger?
Some rabbit sellers may pass an older rabbit as younger. Unless you are sure the rabbit is young, think twice about buying or adopting.

How can you tell if a bunny has been abandoned?
If several bunnies are together in a nest and there is no mother in sight, then they probably haven’t been abandoned. Mother rabbits only feed their young once a day, and usually at night. They do not stay with their young.
Rabbits can indeed live to about 12, but ONLY if they are INDOOR rabbits that have been spayed or neutered. This is possibly my biggest regret. Cocoa died at 6 years of age, half of what I expected.
