I've read varying numbers - I'm just wondering what you all find is the frequency of reproductive cancer in unaltered rabbits ?

Numbers are hard to come by in rabbits because many *just die* at home or the few that go to a vet are rarely diagnosed or documented
The exception is nulliparous laboratory rabbits used for experiments rather than breeding and the incidence of endrometial hyperplasia and adenosarcomas were found to be very common in does over 5 years old

This is true, and nulliparity is a risk factor in many (most? all?) species where uterine and mammary cancers are concerned.
