Whether you have one rabbit or ten rabbits and are not planning on breeding from them, we would recommend neutering at a relatively young age.
It is beneficial for both behaviour and physical health throughout their life. Uterine cancer in middle-aged female rabbits that haven’t been spayed is very common.
Terms used:
Castration for male rabbits (bucks). Spaying for female rabbits (does).
We generally recommend:
Castration at approximately 5 months.
Spaying at approximately 5 months.
Your vet will be happy to explain in more detail and make recommendations for your individual pet.
