  Really quick question, simply: does neutering a rabbit stop/slow down it’s growth?
  
  Just so no-one gets confused or worried, I am definitely 100% pro-neutering.
  I just thought of this earlier and I was wondering!

  No, neutering does not stop their growth. Some boys get neutered right when their testicles descend at about 3-4 months and they continue to grow to a normal size/weight for their breed.
  
  There is some debate about spaying too early bc the hormones are used for bone development, but that’s a different subject altogether… 🙂
