Is it worth having my rabbit neutered?

Question

By the way, my rabbit is a male and only goes out into the garden when i'm with him, so not much chance of him "humping"............

Answer 1

I have a male and he lives in the garden (securely) , i asked my vet and he said that unless hes spraying and mounting me then no -as mine is still young at 7 mths, i go into his run and play with him and hes really affectionate and friendly. Hes on his on his own so i dont think you should unless hes showing the signs. - here we go with the thumbs down lol

Answer 2

Yes it is worth it. Just like people get cats and dogs neutered/spayed even if they never come into contact with an animal of the opposite sex. It reduces the change of getting certain cancers and makes the pet healthier all round. It is perfectly safe if you find a competent vet. You could also then get a (spayed) female friend for him if you wanted to - he would be happier with a friend if this is possible. Is he neutered? Rabbits should really be neutered too (just like cats and dogs)

Answer 3

Male rabbits will mark territory by spraying a bad smelling "urine" on things--including walls, furniture, clothing, you, that he can get to. If you let him roam your home freely, he will spray your bedding and everything else. If he is kept with any other animals, he'll spray them too--anything he deems is his, he'll spray. They've got better anesthetics these days that are mild enough for rabbits; we routinely have all of our rabbits spayed or neutered with absolutely no problem (but our vet is on top of rabbit medicine too). You don't have to neuter him but you'll both probably be better off getting him neutered.

Answer 4

Not really, not unless you have another rabbit. If your with him when you let him out then really there's no chance unless you encourage him...but that's another story. Anyways if your rabbit does get it on, it would be with a rabbit that you don't own. Therefore the person who owns the female rabbit would have to deal with the babies. So, no, there really is no reason except for that your rabbit might be more aggressive then if he was neutered. Hope I helped.

Answer 6

absolutely it is the best thing for the rabbit. It can prevent many ovarian cancers in the females and calm male rabbits down

Answer 7

yes, i would advise it.

i had my rabbit neutered, but this was to put him with the doe that i have as they were once together when they were younger, i bred them and they were separated, but became lonely.

he wasnt an aggressive rabbit to start with, but it has made him more loving.

it also prevents testicular cancer, yes it can affect rabbits too.!

Answer 8

I say no. and a lot of vets actually advise against it. rabbits dont take to well of the strain of the anesthesic since their hearts arent to good. females being worse but still. I also dont believe that it makes them live longer either. as we had a rabbit and we did get him neutered, he died, his brother who wasnt neutered, and from the same litter, is alive and kicking! If there's no chance of him making little kittens then i suggest you leave him the way he is, he'll be fine. and its safer not to give him any unwanted stress

Answer 9

Yes they can spray just like a cat and it causes a bad odor and too they are more aggressive when they are not neutered.

Answer 10

I think the phrase "humping like rabbits" sums this question up
