Neutering rabbits has several benefits: 1) It prevents the birth of unwanted litters as rabbits can have a new litter each month. 2) It eliminates stressful hormones, resulting in a calmer rabbit that is easier to litter train. 3) Unneutered rabbits of either gender cannot live together safely due to aggressive hormonal behaviors.

1. Why Neuter Your Rabbit?
The One With The rabbits

2. Prevent reformation / babies
Can have a new litter of babies each month
Females may experience false pregnancies
Stressful hormones are eliminated
Resulting in a calmer rabbit
Easier to litter train
Un-neutered rabbits can not live together safely

3. Neutering will cancel the risk of disease related to their
reproduction systems.
Un-neutered Female rabbits run a 80% risk of developing cancer in their ovaries.
Un-neutered males occasionally develop cancer in their testes and prostate gland.
Neutering will prevent hormonal behaviour
Such as aggressiveness, towards their human owner and other animals.
Territorial behaviour
Females may experience false pregnancies
They will pull fur to make a nest, excessive pulling may cause soars and scars

4. Neutering is key to litter training your rabbit
Naturally a very clean animal
Eliminates spraying and marking their territory
You will need:
Litter tray with not too high edges
Wood or newspaper based cat litter works best (In my opinion)
Hay feeder & Hay
Clean every other day
Place hay-feeder above the litter tray
As rabbits like to eat and do their business (no comment)
More tips on litter training will be linked below in the post

5. The eliminated hormones result in a much calmer rabbit
More likely to become receptive to human interaction (co-ordinated with overall good rabbit
welfare)
Rabbits are social creatures and therefore thrive when having a
friend
In order for them to socially thrive and get a long both genders has to be neutered
Un-neutered rabbits, regardless of gender, will likely start fighting
as their hormones become active
Therefore I suggest to neuter your rabbits as soon as they reach maturity
Females reach maturity at 5-6 months
Males reach maturity at 12 weeks

6. Choose one that specialises in rabbits
Quality over price
One time price, no need to be skimpy
Differ in price according to animal gender, female rabbits run at a higher
price
Vet should provide you with pain relief and instructions
on how to use them
Schedule a post-op for removing stitches or just a
health check
Always safe after an operation

7. Distribute pain relief provided by veterinarian
Your pet might be tired in the first days
Disinfect their living area, keep in clean
Check your pet in case of bleeding
Very important that your rabbit is eating and drink.
If your rabbit does not eat or drink on their own they must be forced, due to their digestive system
I suggest having Oxbow Critical Care, the powder mixes with water to make a thin paste or mushy
liquid, feed it through a syringe in their mouth.
Alternatively you can mix their pellets with water to make the same mushy liquid
I encourage to google Critical Care, there are several helpful videos on how to force-feed your rabbit
without causing harm

8. A lot of rescue pets
are already
neutered, which
saves you the price
and the time.
