When to neuter giants? FAO giant owners

How old were your giants when you got them neutered?

I was told by the vet to wait 10-12 months for my giants to be neutered so that they were fully grown.

My Contis were neutered by a very experienced rabbit vet (she had done hundreds of spays for a rescue) at about 8 months, but only because I didn't get them much before that and they needed vaccinating first. The vet would have preferred them spayed first (but I hadn't found her at that point) and they were in fact full of hormones by that point and she was surprised they weren't fighting more. She would have no problem neutering at 6 months but she did say she was glad she was doing it rather than an inexperienced rabbit vet.

Interesting.

I waited the full 10-12 months before getting my two done. I guess my vet was just being cautious which is a good thing. But I had a feeling 6 months + would be fine. Not that it matters now :p
