        I’ve asked this question in an other post “can dog/cat vets neuter rabbits” but I never got a straight answer. I’ve read anywhere between 3-8 months. My bunny is just over 2 months. And I’ve found a rabbit savvy vet (I’ve decided not to go to a cat/dog vet). I haven’t called them yet cause I wanted to wait to see how old he can be neutered at. Can anyone tell me what age a male rabbit can be neutered at?

        P.S if you could also tell me for a female to since the lady I got him from wasn’t positive on the gender since I got him at around 7 weeks old. I’m pretty sure he’s a male but he could also be female.

            Once his testicles have become visible, he can be neutered by a rabbit certified vet If around the six months mark you arnt seeing any testicles, he could be a she. For girls, spaying can be done around six months

              Boys can technically be neutered any time once their testicles are visible. This often happens around 3 months. Some people choose to wait longer, especially with larger breeds because testosterone aids in bone development in growing animals.

                Flip him on his back in your lap and look around to see if his testicals are visible. I had my lop done at 4 months because he started getting crazy (mounting the cat, sprayed ME once YUCK!!) but a few weeks after neuter all his testosterone driven sass disappeared and he went back to his lazy, sweet ole self. It really depends on what your vet is willing to do. Some vets want to wait until the bun is older, but I wanted mine done ASAP bc I knew I would not tolerate his hormonal behavior in the house for any amount of time haha. As soon as he sprayed once, it was game over and we made the vet appointment lolol. I just got lucky with one willing to do it early on. Call around your bunny vets and get the best price. I had mine done for $90, but the first vet I tried wanted almost $300! Yikes!
