Hi everyone,
So my lil Peanut is now around 5 months. We got her around thre 20th of Oct and were told she was 10-12 weeks even though she was tiny. So she is coming up on 5 months now. She displays signs of maturity i.e. circling, humping etc etc and i know many of you have had your bunnies spayed before the 6 months that vets advice and was wondering if i should do the same. Peanut is a Dutch/Nethie cross and she weighs 1.4kg at the moment. My vet said he is happy to spay her but generally it is advised to wait until she is 6 months. I really wanted to get her done before we go on holiday in Jan but I am worried I am putting her little life in danger by doing so.
So I have 2 options
1. Have her spayed around the 19th of Dec so she has lots of recovery time before we go on holiday end of Jan.
2. Have her spayed after we come back in Feb and hope that she is ok whilst Hubbys dad bunnysits. She has terrible mood swings and sometimes humps Jubby which he seriously does not like. In this instance Hubbys dad would have to seperate them as my boy rabbit gets a bit nasty.
What do you all think?
