I have a spayed female and now a neutered male. Jessica was spayed when I introduced Leo into our home. I had toggled back & forth about getting Leo neutered. He was never a hormone wild, marking male. He had his spells of getting horney w/ Jessica but it was VERY seldom. We made about 4 attempts for a neuter. 1st time: turned out he had teeth probs I had to pay for first. 2nd time: one of the cats soaked up my vet money. 3rd time: He had his teeth filed/ trimmed at the same time. He had some major bleeding w/ his teeth and they were very concerned about keeping him under anesthesia for any longer. 4th time: It happened he got neutered!
The Long & Short: I didn’t really see the behavioral point of getting him neutered. I didn’t have to worry about babies b/c Jess was fixed. However, I would really regret any type of reproductive cancer to happen to him! My ex was a vet nurse and it always broke our hearts when an animal developed reproductive cancers b/c they could have been completely prevented if they had been spayed or neutered. Also, male rabbits are still prone to mammary tumors! This is not only a female rabbit issue. It’s my understanding that it s a rabbit issue. I think it’s worth spending the money for prevention and longevity!
