Young Bun
Hi - been to the vet today with Womble our 18 week ( approx) mini lop to finish his jabs and asked the vet to check his testicles 
to see if they had dropped and asked was he ready for neutering yet. Anyway - the vet confirmed his plums were there :shock: albeit they are still very small and said he would neuter him now if we wanted to book him in... but he advised leaving it another 2 months to let him mature more first!! Well - Our dilemma is that we really are keen to bond him with our other bunny - a spayed 9 month old female called April and they have already had several "dates" together - they get on really well through the cage - lots of kissing and grooming through the bars but if let into the run with her all Womble wants to do is hump her :shock: she tolerates this for a while, she is a very docile bunny but then she really goes for him and chases him off nipping him. We simply cannot leave them alone together as she is a giant lop - she would hurt him! I really am in a dilema now - to leave them for another 2 months would bring them into the autumn time - Womble is so desperate to get out of his cage and into the run - he is constantly chewing at the bars. ( we swap them over so he gets a run and his scent is all over the run now anyway)
Does anyone else think it it too early to neuter or should I go for it and book him in? ( I think the main concern was his size as he is a mini and the anasthetic being a risk)
PS - I do realise he might still want to hump April after his op... how long does it take for the "urge" to go away?
