How many years should I expect my YSA to live.

[Billy29]

I have heard all sorts of things but what is the minimum I should expect mine to live?

Minimum? I'd say at least 30 years. With good care and health, 50-60+ years.

Minimum? They could be gone at any time. Accidents happen, bad diet can shorten lives, bad living conditions. My Zon is only 5 but his diet was so bad the vet said looking at the long term to enjoy him as much as possible but be aware that there may be issues. He could also life out his full years, we just never know.

I got him as a baby so I am giving him a good diet, exercise and attention.

On a good diet and exercise I'd say minimum 30-50 years. But with excellent care they can live much longer, even into their 80+
