I dont get why people spay/neuter rabbits.
Mostly all those pet rabbits people who hard believe they need at least a pair of rabbits and "they're less likely to get cancer"
I promised them I wouldnt...
and it must feels wrong to eat one that's raised as a pet.
hes going to have a female rabbit and a Guinea pig for buddies
I think they do tend to be a bit calmer and the males spray less. But I'd never spend that kind of money to do it. I dont keep rabbits in pairs anymore and I advise people not to fall for that myth that they need another rabbit. I've seen way too many behavioral problems and fights when rabbits are housed together especially a small space.Mostly all those pet rabbits people who hard believe they need at least a pair of rabbits and "they're less likely to get cancer"
I knew someone who only had one doe and spayed her. Shortly after they got rid of her for free. They asked me if I wanted her and I said no because she was spayed and they were the type of people who would always ask about her. I would feel really bad if she died, plus she would only be taking space and money. I would never spend that much money to spay one rabbit. I don't understand people sometimes
lol.
I've had bad experiences with neutered bucks; perfectly nice bucks ended up acting like hormonal does (and several of them kept spraying, too). I advise people against neutering, and tell them that especially if they like their buck's personality, don't do it. Also mention the same thing about the inaccuracy of that belief that rabbits "need" other rabbits.
This sort of thing came about with the change of people seeing their animals as animals, to seeing them as members of the family. People feel that we go to the doctor and get all sorts of things done, so our animals do it too. Theres usually scientific evidence behind vet recommendations, although we are also always learning. I.e. new evidence showing it might NOT be best to spay and neuter dogs/cats while they are still literally babies (with the exception of those in shelters). People love their pets and will go above and beyond, sometimes unnecessarily, to do everything they can to take the best care of them. It makes them feel good. My opinion is it's your animal, you are taking care of it not me, so it's your prerogative. Just dont tell me how to take care of mine. Theres a lot of toxicity in the rabbit world that's one of the reasons I like this forum so much. That concludes my rambleI knew someone who only had one doe and spayed her.

This is a good point. They're all individuals and you cant ever be sure of what will happen when you alter the hormones and natural processes in an animals body.
Funny thing about that is my does that are my breeding stock I don’t eat I allow them to live out their life with the heard as I keep my rabbits in a 3000 square foot pen. I only eat my grow outs/culls.I promised them I wouldnt...
good job. he will be very happyI found a home for him, thanks everyone
that's what I do rabbit man. But I only have one doe, one buck so ya the babies are all profit
I do the same.
I'd suggest against spaying
I wish I could take him but I don’t have the room for another rabbit! Man!
