Mama Doe
We are on the look out for a doe for our boy Billy but we're not rushing into anything until things setttle down with our poorly boy, Hiro. We needed to do a trip to P@H anyway and decided to just look in the adoption center whilst we were there... just in case.
So we see this beautiful looking Rabbit called Pickles and when we got to the till we decided to get some information. We asked if Pickles was a doe and the guy on the till said that she was and asked us if it was a doe we were after so we explained that we had Bill, a solo neutered bun and then asked if Pickles was spayed because ideally we are looking for a spayed doe because we thought it would be the best match for him.
He then proceeded to tell me that she isn't spayed BUT that they don't recommend it because the risk of them dying on the operating table far outweighs the risk of them getting Uterine Cancer and that if we've got a neutered male it would be better to leave her unspayed.
Now I've never had a Doe but that can't be true, can it? I didn't want to say anything to correct him because I wasn't 100% sure but if he is wrong I'd feel the need to go back and correct him because he might be telling that to everyone that buys/adopts a female :/
