Spaying your female can help reduce the risk of cervical cancer, which is a high risk in female bunnies. Female rabbits may also spray, and might become aggressive if they are not spayed.

Male rabbits should be neutered because they will spray, and they may also become aggressive. They should be neutered at about 3-4 months of age. When they reach puberty they become very aggressive, especially toward other bunnies. If they’re neutered while they’re young, their testosterone levels will taper off over the course of about 6 months, and they’ll eventually mellow out. If they aren’t neutered when they’re young, this aggressive behavior could continue indefinitely.

Always spend lots of time with your bunnies when they’re young. Be gentle, pet them often, and hold them when they’ll let you. Don’t ignore them through their aggressive period. This will only distance them from you and getting them to come around to being your friend later will most likely be more difficult.

Of course another important reason to have your bunnies spayed or neutered is to help keep the unwanted bunny population down. It only takes a split second for a female to get pregnant when she is only a few months old, and she can have up to 12 babies! It’s very difficult to find loving permanent homes for rabbits, so please be responsible and help keep unwanted bunnies from living sad neglected lives by having your little one fixed right away!
