My little wild bun is tiny and I'm wondering if there is much of a risk for small bunnies when neutered? Shes about 8 months old. thought i could get it done before she gets bonded.
 
I am not able to answer but Holly is due to be spayed soon and she is a very small lionhead so have been wondering the same.

Rosie is extremely timid so I am worrying about her too!
 
Its a worry...she's due at the vets this week for a mxy jab so I'll ask the vet. Not long ago the vet said she was too small to be neutered and I'm sure she hasn't grown since:roll:
 
Hello :wave: How much does Spudsey weigh? I also have the same problem as I have 4 wild rabbits that I hand reared from a week old, they are now 4 months old and look so tiny compared to pet rabbits. The heaviest is the boy and hes 1.2kg but the girls are only bout 1 - 1.1kg.
I'm sure she should be fine to be spayed as the vets where I work spay ferrets and some of them are tiny. :D

I have no idea what she weighs...:oops: will try and weigh her later see if I can get her on some scales! Are you keeping your wildies?
 
I think I will be keeping them. They live in our study at the moment as its so cold and haven't got very thick coats :) They all have very different characters and are very naughty:roll: but entertaining to watch. Compared to domestic rabbits they are very athletic and lively. Whats Spudsey like?

:lol::lol: Yep very naughty!!! has eaten my carpet, my skirting boards, window frames etc etc and very very energetic runs laps around the room at extremely high speeds buts shes lovely! There are some photos of her on the photos link which i took last week.
 
I have a really small bun & waited until she was a year old to get her spayed. You can have a blood test done though before hand?

Bunnymadhouse on here's sister has a wild bun - she was spayed, you could ask her?:D
