Hi
I was hoping someone might be able to help me! Last week I adopted a rabbit, we have named him Bailey They weren't entirely sure how old he is (they have guessed between 6-12 months) and they weren't sure exactly what breed he is (he is a lop, but they think he potentially may be a giant one).
He is a house rabbit and has the run of our conservatory and hops around the kitchen when we are in there (conservatory backs on to kitchen). He is the friendliest bun I have trained him to come when called, always comes to you to be petted and only goes to the toilet in his cage (I have tried a litter tray but he hasn't taken to it, but if he is just going in his cage then I don't really mind).
I have read a lot about rabbits 'spraying', and I think Bailey is of the age to 'spray' but he doesn't? Well, he hasn't yet anyway. Is this odd? If he isn't 'spraying' should I get him neutered? Would neutering make him unfriendly? i.e. would his behaviour change for the worse?
Look forward to some responses
