Quick question re male neutering

I've got the Jasper beast booked in for neutering on Weds. He's buzzing and spraying like mad now and has been for the last 3 days so I think we somehow managed to take him in just as he hit puberty with a vengeance (lucky us lol).

Its been years since I had a young male bunny and I've forgotten how long it takes for them to settle down after neutering. How long will it generally take before he stops spraying? At the moment I daren't bend down as he keeps on decorating my face (and the furniture).

On another note tho - we have got him a girlfriend reserved so hopefully in a few weeks we will be able to bond him, and move him into his 10 x 6 bunny palace in the garden.

You will need to leave it 6 weeks before you begin a new bond, mainly because it can take this long for hormones to die down but also is his new wife isn't spayed yet then it will take this long for it to be 'complete'.

For my boys it was sort fo instant, one day they were humping, then on it was nothing :?

Hope he stops spraying you soon :mrgreen:
 
yeah 6 weeks before bonding they could still be fertile up til then. shoudl start to calm down sooner though, bmaybe 2 weeks but depends on the bunny.
