Rabbit neutering near me
Neutering or spaying, is also known as ovariohysterectomy in a female rabbit and castration in a male rabbit.
Male rabbits become sexually mature from 4 months of age, and female rabbits from 5 months of age. Entire male and female rabbits therefore need to be kept separately from 16 weeks old if you do not wish them to breed.
What is neutering?
In a female rabbit the operation, involves the removal of the entire womb (uterus) and both ovaries.
In a male rabbit the operation, castration, involves the complete removal of both testicles.
When should I neuter my rabbit?
We recommend neutering when your rabbit is 4 months old, although older rabbits can be neutered.
If your rabbit is over 3 years of age we advise you to speak to a veterinary surgeon before arranging spaying or castration.
It is possible for castrated rabbits to remain fertile for a while after surgery, so we recommend keeping freshly castrated rabbits away from females for 6 weeks to avoid any surprise pregnancy.
What happens on the day of the operation?
Normally your rabbit is admitted for surgery between 8a
