Hi, advice needed re: neuteing. I have two rabbits Lily and Billy, Billy is a very nervous rabbit who i have had for nearly four months after i found him on a very busy main road. He was very underweight and dirty and extremely nervous. He does not like being handeled and will not settle in a hutch. He now lives in a large shed in the garden and has full access to the garden in the day. With time and patience he will now take food from my hand and allow me (occasionally) to rub his nose. He will need to be nuetered but i am dreading taking him to the vets because i fear the stress will kill him. I also have Lily who is just over three months, i plan to bond them once spaying/neutering is over as Lily is friendly and lively and i hope some of this will rub off on Billy. Lily will be spayed when she reaches six months. They are seperated at the moment, Lily lives in a large two tiered hutch with 8ft run. Do i need to have BIlly nuetered once Lily is spayed? if so, any advice for getting Billy through this stressful procedure? thanks in advance.
