Some vets do prefer to wait 6 months – it’s really at their discretion and what they feel comfortable with so I would not have a problem with this.

I would say that is an extremely good price for a neuter and I would much rather go to a vet that I knew then to a low cost spay neuter especially since you do seem very concerned about the care.

Also here are some links from rabbit rescues in PA with some of their recommended vets:

My vet had me wait until Monkey was 7 months old, just due to her being so little. I’m not surprised yours would want to wait, with Vader being a nethie as well. They’re just so little

My vet had me wait until 5 months to neuter my boy. He’s a holland, and she said that for smaller breeds they like them to be a bit closer to full size before surgery (and this was from a very experienced rabbit vet). So waiting til 6 months seems reasonable.

The cost also seems very reasonable, though I would ask if they’re done any rabbit neuters before. The actual surgery won’t be hard for the vet if he’s done cats and dogs, but the anesthesia on bunnies is a bit different and I’d prefer a vet who had experience with rabbits.

I would also probably stear clear from the $55 neuter … I just have a distrust for anything that’s too cheap 😉

I think generally 5-7 months. I don’t think it’s going to be unusual for us to see them spay/neuter younger and younger as they are now doing juevenille spay/neuters on dogs as young as 8 weeks successfully-but I think six months is totally average and what I would want.
And that price is great.

Personally I’m weary of low cost spay/neuter clinics-they *generally* do the bare minimum, use the cheapest drugs and don’t have any supervision for animals waking. (And even at that they are still running a deficit. Most vet clinics discount spay/neuters to the point where they lose money-because they want people to get them done). By all means check it out but ask about processes and what they do as well as cost

My 2 loooove their oxbow pellets, even picky little Monkey I’m convinced Moose would eat a sock if someone told him it was food tho…

My bun also likes Oxbow and he’s extremely picky. He doesn’t eat any fruit unless it’s a craisin or dried papaya, and the only veggies he’ll eat are lettuces. Good luck with the Oxbow! Bunnies are tricky because you can’t leave the food and just assume they’ll eat eventually (like dogs and cats). They really need to eat every few hours to keep their tummies going so it’s definitely important to find something he’ll eat.
