What is the youngest age that you can neuter and spay rabbits?

I've read 2-3 months for bucks, and 5-6 for does depending on the rabbits size and development.

Not exactly sure - I had Flopsy neutered at 5 months as he was a lone rabbit at the time. Jem was already spayed when I got her.

Someone will be along soon to let you know the earliest.:D

I believe for bucks its as soon as their testicles descend. And for does, it depends on the vet, some say 6 months some say as soon as bun weighs 1kg.

The does I had from being babies were all spayed at 6 months

Our vets will do bucks as soon as the testicles descend and does once they are over 1kg.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like a case of wait and see when they are ready. My other fixed buns were all done too long ago to remember the details.
