Spaying/neutering rabbits help rabbits not to breed. Also, if they don't breed they will live longer and become more territorial. Spayed/nuetered rabbits will be happier living with rabbits they dislike.
Until you are able to get them bred. If you suspect a false pregnancy you should take your doe to the bucks cage and try to breed her until she catches. A doe that repeatedly has false pregnancies may be barren and should be culled from the herd. You can not afford to feed a rabbit that is non-productive.
