A rabbit can survive only 3 to 7 days without eating or drinking, and the exact time depends on its physical condition. A weaker rabbit may die after just 3 days, while a robust adult can last about 5 days. Rabbits do not tolerate hunger well and starvation is very harmful, so owners should feed them on a regular schedule to avoid excessive hunger.
If a rabbit stops eating and drinking, the owner can check whether there is a problem with the feed. If the feed is not the issue, it is best to have a veterinarian examine and treat the rabbit.
