Yes, you can get your rabbit neutered (also known as de-sexed, altered, and, in females, spayed); in fact, it's widely recommended that you do!

You must find a "rabbit-savvy" vet to neuter/spay your rabbit because rabbits are unique and delicate animals, and a regular cat/dog vet could kill your rabbit unwittingly. When performed by an experienced vet, a neuter/spay surgery is very safe (higher than 99% success rate).

Does (female rabbits) should have their uterus and ovaries removed in a spay surgery. Bucks (male rabbits) should have their testicles removed in a neuter surgery, via the scrotum (not the abdomen).

It's a good idea to alter your rabbit because altered rabbits:

  • are healthier and live longer
  • are less destructive and aggressive
  • are friendlier and can be bonded with other rabbits
  • won't contribute to the overpopulation problem

Will a female rabbit kill a desexed male rabbit if another male rabbit is around not in the same cage with the female and desexed male?

One Opinion: Yes! If you plan on introducing a new rabbit to your female, please respect the principles of bonding (i.e. putting their cages near, then letting one bunny at a time out to scent the other one, etc.; there are many websites that describes the process in length). If you do not do so, they can attack each other and seriously hurt or maim each other. The sex of your rabbit has no importance in this matter.Another Opinion: I am a rabbit breeder and have found there are zero issues but only IF the female is placed in the males cage for mating females are very territorial of there space.

How can you stop a male rabbit from killing the babies?

Hi Once male rabbits reach puberty (normally around 6months a bit older for the bigger breeds) they start to want to mate with a female, if you have two male rabbits they will fight each other sometimes even to the point of death, this will happen even if there brothers its just a thing that happens when they want to breed and you cant control it, however if you get both of your rabbits desexed this may lower there aggression but wont always stop the problem.


How long is it until you can put de sexed male rabbits in with the female rabbitts?

If the rabbits have lived together before he was desexed, then as soon as his stitches have healed they can be housed together again. If you are introducing the two bunnies for the first time, then wait until his stitches have healed before letting them meet each other in a neutral territory like a bathroom. If they fight, separate them. You might need to introduce them multiple times before they stop fighting and then you can try housing them together.


Do desexed female cats still go on heat?

No, desexed female cats do not go into heat. Spaying (desexing) involves removing the reproductive organs that are responsible for the heat cycle, so once a female cat is spayed, she will no longer experience heat cycles.
