Jenny & Barney
Young Bun
Hi everyone
I am a complete softy. (Background Info - question is below)
I went with my mother-in-law to buy a budgie for her birthday and came back with a 6 month old Rabbit (who I named Barney). With Easter round the corner the pet shop had loads of baby bunnies which were selling like hot cakes but fully grown Barney was at the back of the shop in a dirty cage about the size of my arm. I just couldn't leave him.
So, I now have a big black house rabbit which is great. I've read loads of info on the net and although he runs a mile if I come within a meter of him he seems to be settling in ok.
Now here's my question: I know I need to get Barney neutered. He currently has 3 appointments booked for tomorrow and I just can't decide where to take him!
First quote: £78
2nd quote: £62
3rd quote: £50
Now obviously I am leaning towards the £50 vet. But does this mean i'm putting him at risk? Is it just a basic proceedure that any vet can do? It feels horrendous to bargain over the price of a castration but I've already spent a small fortune that I really hadn't budgeted (or budgieted) for.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Many thanks
Jenny
