neutering an older rabbit

I have 3 rabbits an was toying with the idea of breeding them.After looking online i have decided against this as there are far to many bunnies out there needing homes.
I cant see any problems with my younger rabbits but my older rabbit its 5 and i was wondering if anyone has any advice on whether to get him neutered or just to leave him as he is?

As long as he is otherwise in good health there is no reason not to neuter him.
Then you could bond him with a spayed Doe as Rabbits need company :)

Good decision re not breeding :thumb:
 
I agree with Jane - so long as he's in good health & your vet agrees, then there is no reason not to neuter him.

We had Noah & Arthur both done when we rescued them & they are both 6 years old :)

I'm so glad you decided not to breed :)
 
Thanks for the replys,im going to go see the vet tomorrow and ask then arrange dates for the 3.Then im going to try some bonding and once i have some more hutches im hoping to adopt some more.
 
sooty(mums rabbit) was spayed age 9yrs and no problems i have had older bunnys go through gas with no problem for dentals(such as 7yr old coco and 4yr old arthur and also dora was spayed age 3yrs. provided there are no other health issues and you have a good vet i think it is nessacery. x
