Soon to be Neutered

[AryAndPoof]

Hi Everyone ! This is my first post and im kind of new a this forum thing haha.

So here is my story and Problem. Last October i adopted a stray Mini Rex from the animal shelter , his name is POOF , its was instant love ! I had a c&c cage and got it together for him . Beeing kinda new to rabbits owning i knew the basics, but he had a tiny cage at the shelter and i could not resist adopting him . After i got him home he was soposed to be litter train , well , hes pretty good at it most the time but hes not neutered ( i did not even know we had to ) And reading about it i decided to get him neutered on the 13, cause I have a female cat and HE CONSTANTLY humps her verry agressivly , sprays everything when hes out of the cage and make Skunky poo outside his litterbox… SO …

My questions are , Do you think it well reduce and help all this when hell get neutered ? , And if so how long after surgery will i see chaanges ? And will he be calmer  cause hes a handfull when hes out !

Love , Poof and Ariann

Thank you for rescuing Poof!

Poor kitty

Boy bunnies are neutered primarily for the reasons you mention, behavioral issues that has to do with sex. Courting, humping, spraying, poop-marking. Girl buns should be spayed for health reasons, but with boys there are no super-important health benefits, testicular cancer is rare in rabbits. So this is a clear case of a bun who’s infatuated beyond reason, and I do think it will help a lot to get him neutered. It will make his life (and your kitty’s) less stressful. I was in a similar situation with my first bunny, in his case it wasn’t a kitty but a German Shepherd dog that was the romantic inspiration. It stopped two weeks after the neuter.

Yes! As bam said you will probably see some improvement after a few weeks (when there are less and less hormones in the blood!). Our bunny stopped some of his nuisance chewing and got much better with the box post neutering.

They “skunky poo” may not really be poo.  It may be a cecum pellet. Every day, rabbits purge their cecum stomachs.  It’s located at the juncture of their small intestine and large intestine.  The cecum is where specialized bacteria convert vegetarian cellulose to glucose.  Other vegetarian animals like cows, etc have their specialized stomachs at the end of their esophagus…they regurgitate the contents of their specialized stomachs into their mouth, rechew and reswallow.  Chewing their cud.  Rabbits cannot regurgitate the contents of their specialized stomach into their mouth…they do the same by passing it out through their large intestine and our their rectum. A healthy rabbit, that’s not too obese or has spinal authritis, will immediately bend over and eat the cecum pellet. You can have a rabbit for years, and not know this is happening.  If they cannot physically bend over and eat the pellet, then you will notice it’s presence..it’ll be dropped on the floor or will be matted in the fur next to their rectum. For more my then 10 year old rabbit, we began giving her an anelgesic, Metacam, that reduced her pain, and she began eating her cecum pellets.

They cecum pellets are soft black looking pellets. They contain concentrated cellulose to glucose converting bacteria, they contain liver enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and undigested cellulose and vegetation matter.  Re-ingesting the pellets is important for a rabbit living in the wild.  They need the nutrition.  If you find one of the pellets on the floor, for some reason the rabbit has not eaten it, and you smoosh it in your fingers and smell it..it will have a vomitous smell from the liver enzymes. These pellets are not poo, and specifically, if you gather rabbit poo..the dry round ball like pellets in your hand and sniff them…they will have herbacious smell with a slight onion or sulphur overtone.  Proper rabbit poo does not have a bad smell.  Cecum pellets, if you smash them, don’t smell good!!…even though the rabbits normally eat their cecum pellets.
