Some unspayed rabbits do live longer. The chance of reproductive cancer is high, but that doesn’t mean all unspayed rabbits will die from cancer. You will read different ranges online, and this is due to differences in breeds. Some breeds are more prone to cancer than others so the stats you see are often averages. If you have a good vet now, I would talk to them about the risks and benefits of having them spayed at this age. Older rabbits are spayed at rescues, for example, all the time. So it isn’t like they don’t spay older rabbits. There is a risk with any surgery, of course, so that’s why it would be good to talk to your vet to see what would be best.
