It depends very much on where you live. It could be under a $100 to several hundred. My bunny did not do well after the surgery and had to stay for several days at the vet and then had to have special medication and be syringe fed for a few weeks and it ended up costing me about $300. It's well worth it though as most females develop ovarian cancer. It will also help with any behavior and marking issues she may have.
If you have a fixed/low income you may qualify for a free or reduced spaying if done through the humane society or your city/town.
Please find a vet who specializes in exotics to do the surgery. Your bunny should also get yearly check ups. If you call or see the vet first they can give you an estimate of what the surgery will cost before you do it. That depends on where you live. Like everything else, prices reflect what the local market will bear. It is usually less expensive, and a less invasive surgery, to neuter the males.
Yes, it is safe to spay a 5-month-old bunny. It is recommended to spay female rabbits to prevent reproductive health issues and reduce the chances of certain cancers. Be sure to consult with a veterinarian experienced in rabbit care for the procedure.
A healthy rabbit in a clean habitat doesn't smell. Rabbits groom themselves. Unaltered rabbits smell stronger than altered rabbits because of the hormones they secrete and spray around the room. (This is only one of many good reasons to spay/neuter your rabbit.) Otherwise, if your rabbit smells, bring her to a rabbit-savvy vet as soon as possible because something is wrong.
You spay a female dog and cat, you neuter a male dog and cat.
You can't. If your rabbits smell, take them to visit a vet. Their smell should be hardly detectable. If they smell, they may be sick. Or maybe you need to clean their habitat more often. If you smell something unpleasant, it is more than likely a buck (male rabbit) spraying. That scent is powerful. Your rabbits will smell less if you alter them (neuter/spay; this is only one of many reasons why you should neuter/spay your rabbit). See the links/questions below for more info.
Here's the goods and bads of both genders of the rabbit BUCK- They are calm and like attention like most male animals. But if not neutered they can have aggression because of hormones. But if you spay them you will have a calm careless pet rabbit. DOES- Like any animal if you tame them they will act good. But they don't like attention as much as the bucks. But they can be very affectionet and loving toward the onwers. But they sometimes act strange and jumpy if they want to be breed in other word they are in heat. But if you fix them you have a nice loveing animal. My opinion is DOES are better pets. They are happy to be with you and never get aggressive. I breed rabbits so i don't spay or neuter so i put up with the starnge behaviours but it is very managble and if you leave them alone for the couple day they act strange they will be back to normal to there normal selves. But I've heard many people prefer bucks as pets so its a total opinion.
Spay or nueter your rabbit when he/she is 6 months old.
Before you spay your rabbit, you should know how: much the spay will cost, it will make your bunny not give birth anymore, it will make your rabbit live longer, and it will make your rabbit be HAPPY!
ifyou spay a female or nueter a male rabbit it will make yhem live longer, br happier, and more friendly.)
Well I have a rabbit and its not spayed or neutered, and its a little bit aggressive. It growls whenever I try to take it out of the cage.
yes.
Spay and neuter both your bunnies.
Do you mean spay/neuter your rabbit? you are not de-sexing them. It is cheaper to neuter males than to spay females. Cost is between $75.00 and $150.00 unless you can find a spay/neuter clinic going on somewhere.
It is best to spay or nueter when the animal is 3 months old.
Approximately £55 in the UK, unsure about other countries.
My opinion is yes because if she escapes or another rabbit gets into the garden and they have intercourse then your rabbit will become pregnant so it is better to be prepared :)
Why is your rabbit mean? Did you tease it? Have you dropped it or otherwise hurt it? If your rabbit is a year old it is likely that you will not improve it's temperament. It will however stop his spraying most likely.
To prevent your rabbit from spraying urine in the house, you can spay or neuter your rabbit, provide a suitable litter box, clean the litter box regularly, and ensure your rabbit has enough space and enrichment to prevent stress.
