At my local vets its about £60 for a male castration and £80 for a female spay.
Such a weird term, desexing, because youre not removing or changing their biological sex :?
It varies a lot, mind. I've seen people on here say anything between £40 and £120. And different places include different things, with some it includes things like the metacam to take home, and the pre and post op checks, but with other places it doesnt or only includes certain things, so you pay extra for them on top of the quoted price. Your best indication is to ask your local vets. Before getting the rabbits, you should ideally find a decent vet anyway, so it could be part of the questions you ask then.

Old fashioned term from when people started castrating and removing the uterus of their pets. De-sexing as in taking away the urge for sex. Just stuck I guess haha. I prefer it to spaying/neutering because I'm lazy and it's 'one word fits all.'
There's two bun savvy vets in my state, so I'm choosing the closest one. Both recommended by all the rescues I've seen, so should be good! Definitely a good idea to ask them though. :thumb:

Ahh I just use neutering, as that is for both sexes.

Fair enough, I must admit the cultural differences in the English language make the internet a very confusing place! :lol:
Yup, its weird the vocabulary has changed to mean such different things.... Imagine the looks I would get if I said loudly in a public place in America 'can I bum a fag?' - especially as I'm female :lol: . (translation: may I have one of your cigarettes?)

I always giggle when Americans say '***** pack' and they always giggle when I talk about my thongs! (aka flip flops :lol

My girls cost me £69 each. Not had a boy done yet.
And yes, de-sexing is the term in Australia, I have a few friends there, and most vets will say de-sex as well.
