Can you describe what the incision looks like?

And it depends. When we think about infection, we think about pus growth, swelling, and signs of irritation. That being said, movement like flopping, jumping, and running may be a bit painful and lessen; however, due to medication, the advancement of an infection, and other factors, a rabbit may move freely as well. Wick functions quite normally when his teeth are irritating his mouth, and when he was constantly having sneeze attacks, he would still act normally too.

It’s great to consider activity, but I think for a surgical site, looking at the site can be a sign (and arguably something can look fine, but you’ll see the rabbit’s activity decline; both are important).

Check your inbox. I’ve sent you a PM.

And in terms of neuter and run space, as a rule, it’s best to limit running, jumping, and hopping for 4-7 days after the neuter, to ensure the site does not get strained. Although the rabbit may feel fine, he doesn’t know the ramifications that movement can have on a surgical site. It’s great that you made sure he isn’t running around too crazily!

Generally, it should look clean and unirritated, like a cut you might get that is healing properly.

The following is the rabbit’s neuter site:

I don’t know if perhaps the skin color was different from the beginning, but I am fairly sure Wick’s neuter site did not look like that – he is my only rabbit though and its been a while, so I cannot say definitively yours looks unhealthy. I do see a lot of random powder around it. Do you know where this may be coming from? It reminds be of a wound that is leaking liquid and it dries up.
