Well all I want to know is how much will it cost for me to get my rabbit fixed because I dont want him to hump things and stuff and will he have a chance of him not living from the surgery?
Thanks!

The cost depends on where you live; in my little part of Canada, it's about $130 (Cdn). It's worth it though as they stop spraying, humping stuff and being aggressive. It can also help them live longer.
As for not making it, I have had 4 bunnies neutered and 3 spayed, and they have all sailed through the surgeries. You have to make sure though, that you have a vet who knows rabbits, as their anaesthetic needs are different. Check out www.rabbit.org for more information on this.

hey... it depends on how old your rabbit is.. I got mine fixed a little to late and now he's not very snuggley... he's kinda a grumpy gus... he's fistey, and very independant... he's starting tno get a little better with age.. he's almost 4... basically if you dont want your rabbit humping things yes get him fixed. you dont want him spraying things either.. he'll do that to mark his terrirory.. if you haven't potty trained yet, I would... and fixing also helps with potty training... there is an 80% chance he'd be potty trained efficently if you got him fixed . I recomend fixing... I wish there was something else I could have done, my rabbit is just so darn cute... but he was spraying me in the middl eof the night and I couldn't take that anymore..and potty training him was another thing I wanted to do... and he's 100% potty trained..doesn't live in a cage... feel free to ask me more questions, IM, or email.. =) he's my 2nd rabbit.. my first lived to be 11
now let's talk price...
PRICE
I think boomer's costed under $145 but it will 100% depend on your vet. You can go in and ask for free how much it'd be. You can see the total cost, there are extra's.. like the special pain free meds they CAN give him. (I'd recomend it) and the med's for after the surgery, he has to stay in a cage for 3 days after.. no water for a while..they look ssooo thirsty but t hey cant' have any right after surgery... and the night before they can't have any food or water.. it's tourture..I know..they do the same to humans...lol but he'll live 1 day with no food... after that he shoudl be fine... so go ask your vet.. get a free counciltation..

Hi, the cost depends on the vet and where you live. It can be quite exspensive, but not too much! Yes there are risks, but i think they're only minor risks. I've had my male rabbit castrated becuase he was humping my girls and he has stopped. Also after the surgery you have to keep an eye on his fecies patterns and you'll probably have a follow up check up at the vets to see how he's doing. xxx

i have no idea where in the world you are but here in the uk it cost me £40 to neuter my buck. does are more expensive to spay at around £60 as the surgery is a little more complex for does. if your rabbit is healthy there should be no problem with surgery atall. its always a risk when an animals has a anesthetic just like humans but 99% of the time everything will be fine
i have to strongly disgree with bb im afraid, it is highly reccomended that does also be spayed because unspayed does have a higher rate of uterine cancer. i think the risk is as high as 80%.
all in all getting rabbits spayed/neutered is worthwhile because it helps prevent unwanted litters, calms rabbits down if they are aggressive and can prevent cancer.
good luck im sure your bun will be fine

Neutering is pretty easy, it's non-invasive so chances are very slim that he won't survive the surgery. This is why I recommend that people who have a male & female just neuter the male, it's far easier on him and prevents babies just the same, not to mention cheaper than a spay.
Not sure what the cost would be, you can ask your vet. It will probably be similar to a cat neuter charge, I would guesstimate total charges under $200.

Depends on your vet. One who does this often may charge $120 while a vet who concentrates on cats and dogs mostly once quoted $400. Find a vet who specializes in rabbits and exotic animals and the price will be lower.

surgery is always risky,but, it is not overly dangerous. The vets around me in Michigan charge about 40-50 dollars.

Just because he is fixed doesnt' mean he won't still hump things.
