Need bunny spayed but he is 3 and a half

[lovenova123]

Hi my bunny Nova he needs to get fixed but he is 3 and a half years old i am her 3 owner and i don’t know her exact date and i don’t know if it’s ok to get him fixed and checked out.And how much is it going to cost in total for him to get fixed.

He is definitely not too old to be fixed. He’s just an adult bunny, and fully grown, which makes it actually easier for a vet to see and handle him well, so not to worry. You should take him to a vet of your choice, one with experience with rabbits, and ask how much they charge. It depends a lot on where you live. (Don’t ever tell us your address, just general location like Florida, USA.)

Ditto That’s not old at all! My at least 9.5 year old regularly goes under sedation for a tooth procedure. If they are old, pre blood work is recommended but 3.5 is spry

Costs vary-I’ve heard anything from less than 50 to a few hundred. It really depends on location

Definitely need to get him done! No bunny I would say unless health reasons suggest otherwise is too old to get the snip. It’ll definitely be more beneficial for you and him for a happy bunny lifestyle

For males, it isn’t universally healthy as it is for females.  Males only need to be neutered for behavior, bonding, and to prevent pregnancy.  Decisions should be made on a case by case basis.

That said, 3 1/2 isn’t that old to be worrying about age.  I wouldn’t really think of age being a major consideration till after 5 or 6.
