ive just phoned my vets re my new additions and they will do the male at 4 months for £30.15 not bad, but they have said that they need separating now as they could already be mating is this right or not ?? i dont think they are rabbit savvy especialy giants
many thanks
 
I would not risk keeping them together after 12 weeks of age :) or as soon as the Buck's plums become visible.
Although Giants often mature more slowly I would not want to put it to the test.
 
thanks

they are 9 weeks at the mo so should be ok for a few weeks yet. i was thinking of getting them both done together what do you think.

breeder said 4/6 months by the time he drops lol can he be done before they are visible??
 
cheers :wave:

so if i separated them at 12 weeks and wait till he is 16 weeks ahd get him done, how long after can they go back together:?

I have had a Buck remain fertile 6 weeks post castration. He got 3 Does pregnant :shock:
Most people say that 4 weeks is long enough to wait but I always err on the side of caution now.
