I have a bunny that's VERY mean to me and I heard that neutering him will make him more affectionate. I want to know if this is true!!!

I dont honestly know if its true but all rabbits are different. I honestly have never had a buck( male) rabbit that was mean...does( females) on the other hand are a different story because of hormones. I guess neutering could play a part into his behavior if he is hitting puberty( or teenage bunny years as we like to call it ) but be warned that fixing a rabbit is not cheap & it might not even help.

I think that is usually the case with other animals as well. Try reading "Raising the Peaceable Kingdom: What Animals Can Teach Us About the Social Origins of Tolerance and Friendship" by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson. This book is not about neutering Animals, but in it he has to get his rabbit neutered and he talks a little bit about why. It is a great book for any Animal lover.
