Tamsin said:I know a few other rescues with a similar policy. Other have neutering as part of the adoption contract. Others insist that the rabbits go back to the rescues vet to be neutered at the appropriate age.
I vagly recall one rescue who had an adopter that didn't neuter early enough, I can't remember which rescue it was and they changed their policy afterwards.

youngbunny2 said:I think it is a good idea too, the only problem is that the vets i go to wouldnt spay before 6 months of age so you miss those first weeks to get bonded with the bunny while its young.

GBH in Beckenham is also very reluctant to rehome young babies...

However I decided after that to neuter all ,and so now keep the buns until they are old enough to be done. I think a lot of rescues have this policy and so, thank goodness, you are not alone in this
