Hi, I hope some one can help me.
I adopted a female rabbit about a year ago from the RSPCA. She is now bonded with my neutered male Pedro and they happily live in a shed/run combo together outside. When I got her I was told she had been neutered and had no reason to doubt this was true. However, her behaviour really makes me think otherwise now. She humps Pedros face constantly (poor chap finds it most intolerable!), is quite highly strung and I have realised that she seems to have the equivalent of a rabbit peroid every so often and during this time Pedro won't leave her alone!
I am really concerned that she hasn't been because of the long term health implications. Does it sound like she has been neutered as I am now convinced she hasn't.
Also, where would I stand legally on this as I still have her adoption certificate claiming she has and paid a fee to cover her medical expenses. If she hasn't been neutered than I haave paid 40 odd quid for a mixy vaccination that I could have had done for £20 at the vets! Should they foot the bill for her to be neutered if indeed she hasn't? As I specifically said I only wanted a neutered female and think I might have been duped.
Many thanks
