Rabbit - neutering is necessary


Surgery can be as safe on rabbits as on any animal. Unfortunately, the majority of veterinarians aren't experienced with safe techniques.
Females can be spayed as soon as they sexually mature, usually around 4 months of age. Males can be neutered as soon as the testicles descend, usually around 3-1/2 months of age.
The risk of reproductive cancers for an unspayed female rabbit stands at is virtually eliminated by spaying your female rabbit. Your neutered male rabbit will live longer as well, given that he won't be tempted to fight with other animals due to his sexual aggression.
