Answer 1

Hi, I got my female bunny spayed once she turned 6 months old. I rang round a few vets for "quotes" and went with the one that does my local rescue centre bunnies because that way the vet is very experienced. It cost me £45 including a follow up appointment and some probiotics to put in her food after to help her recover.

This wasn't the cheapest option (I had quotes from £38 to £80) but it was one of the lower prices - even if it had been more I would still have chosen them because of their experience with rabbits. It was a vet in the "vets 4 pets" chain so see if you have one near you. They were very friendly and helpful, and explained a lot about the op and the aftercare to me on the phone, unlike a lot of the other vets I spoke to who seemed to have a "shovel them in shovel them out asap" approach.

If you have a girl bunny then definaltely get her done as most female rabbits develop ovairan and uterine cancer at around 4 years of age unless spayed. Spaying doubles their life expectancy, removes the chance of false pregnancies and also tones down any destructive behaviour. It also helps with house training if you want a house rabbit.

Having a male castrated is also advisable as it will stop him being territorial and weeing all over the place to mark his territory. It will also make him less aggressive. Male neutering is cheaper than female neutering as their sexual organs are more accessible!

Hope this has been helpful. Best of luck with your bunny!

Answer 4

I've had both of mine done, the male cost £30 and the female was £40 (although this is cheap as the RSPCA did her when I adopted her). Expect to pay up to £60 for a female.

I'd definitely recommend putting them through the op. Males can turn into complete sexpots and will start spraying everywhere to mark their territory. Females usually die from cancer of the uterus if they're not done. They're also easier to litter train once snipped.

After the op, you'll need to keep your bunny warm preferebly in the house for a couple of days and give it lots of TLC.

Answer 5

Im not sure about how much it would cost in the Uk. You have theinternet at your expense, Im sure you could find some information about the price that way. Mine is almost 2 years. I had him neutered at 1 yr after he started showing sexual agression to my head. It was quite emotionally painful seeing how afterwards, he wouldnt come near me. He has gotten better but I notice that he isnt as "active" as he used to be. he is more calm with my kids though. Its usually a one day procedure and they give you medication afterwards to help with infection and healing. Good luck!

Answer 6

i havent got my rabbit done yet because he is only 12 weeks and my vets wont do it until hes 6 months.
the best advice is to phone your local vets and ask for a price. i phoned both in my town and one was alot more expensive than the other. £52 in one and £30 in another for him to be neutered. so as you can see it can vary alot. the quote i got for a doe (before i knew i was having a buck) was £70.

Answer 7

Sorry you've only had daft answers so far - I think the best thing you could do is ring the vet - the information won't cost you anything, and you'll get all the facts you need that way. This is one of many websites you find if you type 'care of rabbits' into the google search box:

Answer 8

Apparently a female rabbit at 2 years old can get reproductive cancer, so if you get it sprayed she less likely to die of cancer so yes you will help to increase her life span. You should looking around for charitable veterinaries who give you a hugh discount or not charge.

Answer 9

In answer on your question, it relies upon what you opt for: i.e. 2 rabbits or fairly some rabbits. Having had my toddler Rex male "mounted" - after he had fathered some quite a few litters with 3 women human beings, i'll state that i'm sorry I did it. Why it this? the main considerable answer is that it has replaced his character - in that he's lots greater docile, introvert, shy, hectic and that i in my view get the impact he's asserting to me "why did you are trying this to me?" i understand you will examine maximum persons of persons asserting that it is greater efficient to get rabbits "mounted"; truly consumer-friendly to assert, yet once you adore your rabbit you will think of two times. in spite of everything, what else is there for them to do? they could;t go down the pub, go take in a movie, watch television and so on. What they do is breed. So, what (else) ought to you do? this relies upon on how lots time you have obtainable to commit on your rabbits, how lots room you have obtainable and clearly, how lots money you are able to have the money for to spend on them. If the above 3 are no longer any subject - and you opt for them to reproduce, you need to get yet another cage for the female to have her kits in and to boost them till they stop taking her milk - approximately 3 weeks. in this time. the male would be stored interior the unique cage. What are you able to do with the kits? After 4 weeks, you would be able to provide them away - or of course shop them. i'm fortunate via fact the persons who bought me the rabbits will take new kits back to sell - and that they understand the thank you to look after rabbits. One considerable factor (you probably did no longer point out) is their an prolonged time. you are able to homestead youthful - with the help of youthful I propose below 3 months - jointly devoid of lots of a topic. although, after this age the be conscious that includes magnitude is territory / territorial. you are able to learn greater - and each thing you would be able to desire to correctly known approximately rabbits from information superhighway sites.
