How old? and Neutering? (three questions inside hehe) - SORRY WRONG PART OF FORUM!

Young Bun
Okay.. my grandad gave me some branches/twigs from his apple tree, and was wondering how old they have to be to give them to my bunnies? They are 13 weeks old. Also, can they eat the leaves?


Also one final question!! How old should my rabbits be before I can get them neutered? I have a girl and a boy bun. Are there different ages for neutering?

Thank You! No doubt I'll be back with more questions though lol :lol:
 
Hey,

Do we get some pictures of your new bunnies?

Are your buns living apart?

The boy can be done as soon as his bits drop and the vets say its safe to operate on him. Often the girl needs to be done later and, again, that will be down to vets discretion as to when they feel its safe to spay.

I know nothing about apple tree twigs though :lol:
 
There are pics of my buns in the thread named "Introducing my new duo! ..." :wave:



And they're living together at the moment.. is this bad?

And brilliant, thank you!! I'll take them to the vet soon to ask the best age.


No worries hehe :) xxxx
 
Boys can be neutered as soon as their plums drop. ;)
With girls vets have different ages so best to ask your vet. Find someone who has lots of experience with rabbits and knows what they're doing. Ask lots of questions like how many rabbits they've done and how many have been successful!

Rabbits can eat the leaves too. Just don't give them too much as they won't be used to it. Just in case it upsets their stomachs. Build up over time. :)

I would separate them until the boy is neutered and wait six weeks after that to re introduce them. They can breed even at this young. :shock:
