So I have one intact male angora who is really a very chill dude, he's just over a year. He has excellent litter habits as well. I personally see neutering as an elective procedure if there are no behavior issues.
I do not free roam him, he lives in a pen and is let out to explore as my schedule allows.
HOWEVER
I would love to get another and was recently offered a retired 3 yr old intact male. If I took him, he too would be indoors.
Questions:
What are the odds of my current bunny starting to spray?
Would it be better to house them on different levels of the house?
Will I need to wash my hands between handling them?
I can deal with initial training and settling, but don't want urine to be shooting everywhere forever.
I know angoras are known for being social, chill, and easy to handle. I will fix the retired one if I must but would rather not drop $300+ on a procedure that could just as easily kill. I hear so many stories of even vets that specialize in rabbit losing them.
I supposed I could invest in a ton of coroplast and proof everything. I really want this guy, but dont want to rush in unprepared. I have a spare dog crate and other rabbit supplies, as well as angora grooming tools
