So another important health issue that you need to think about is whether or not to get your rabbit fixed or not. Neutering or speying a rabbit is an expensive and of course risky surgery, and some vets are not overally keen on performing the operation. But with this in mind there are also benefits to fixing your bunny, fixed rabbits are often less aggressive and easier to litter train, it can help reduce spraying and destructive behaviours in males and territorial nesting behaviours in females. It is of course a requirement if you are planning to house a male and female rabbit together and not mate them, and it can make housing 2 females or 2 males together a lot easier. Females especially have a higher chance of developing ovarian cancer if they are unfixed and not mated. I personally agree with getting your rabbit fixed, I have had Dustin fixed and I think it has drastically improved his behaviour and he no longer sprays which is especially important when you are thinking of having an indoor rabbit. The surgery for male rabbits is slightly less risky and less expensive but there is a large chance of infection after these kinds of surgeries in both males and females, I was lucky as Dustin had no complications from the surgery but I had to keep him extremely clean and keep a very close eye on him for the week following the surgery. If you are thinking of getting your bunny fixed wait until they are at least 5-6 months old and ask around different vets in your area to compare prices and to find a vet that is also confident with rabbits and knows their stuff, I have heard some horror stories of after care going wrong because the vet has little knowledge on rabbits specifically. I was lucky Dustin was done by a very good vet and I only got charged around 70 bucks :)
