It will mean he isn't being ruled by his hormones, his persnality will come out more and he will more than likely get tidier with his litter habits. :)
 
It will probably make him calmer and easier to litter train and it will also mean he can have a bunny friend! :)
 
Hey

Well neutering rabbits will reduce their hormones, sexual behaviour, agression, testicale cancer and will ease the process of litter training.

As rabbits live in groups in the wild, domestic rabbits need to also have a partner(s).
If in the future you consider taking on a spayed female bun.:
The bonding process becomes less stressful for you and the rabbits.

Neutering is highly recommended, I've got my buck neutered aswell.

What vets do you use ?
It's recommended to use a rabbit savvy vet as they'll be experianced enough to deal with rabbits and their problems, should they occur.
Ask your vet if they neuter and spay rabbits regularly.
The answer should be yes :)

Also they'll need to give them pain reliefs after your rabbit's been woken up.
And you should also purchase some to last a few days so your rabbit won't feel any pain from his massive operation.

I use NuVet, and they (peterborough) apparently have a european small animal speacialist surgeon they also do keyhole surgery, never used for rabbits before just hamsters and would take guineapigs there if needed too
 
Hm.
I'm not familiar with the vets but you could start a thread in the forum section 'Rabbit Chat' asking for a 'Rabbit Savvy Vet in xxxxxx' and also in the post say who's your current vet. And hopefully someone in your area can advise you a better vet. Or the current one you use :thumb:
 
It also reduces the risks of testicular cancer which is acyually more common than you'd think :wave:
