    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

    We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

spay age

Technically they can be spayed from 4 months I think, but many vets prefer to wait til 6 months :wave:
 
The earliest I've heard of is 14 weeks, but most vets prefer to wait a bit longer. An earlier spay requires a more experienced vet, I believe. Annabella was neutered by the rescue at 15-16 weeks.
 
Yes the earliest they can be spayed is 4 months (16 weeks)
Obviously they can be spayed from 3 months old however you've got to have a decent rabbit savvy/ exotic vet that specialises in Rabbits. I personally wouldn't have a female bunny spayed until at least 4 months old.

My Pixie was spayed by the rescue at 4 months old. :wave:
