Hiya, :wave:
I think I'm finally going to book Darcy in for speying. I've been weighing it up "should I, shouldn't I". I know its for the best (uterine cancer preventitive, she may be able to have a friend etc) but I can't help worrying about it! :roll: She's a grumpy little bun (this is why I took her on! - She was 'unhandleable' and no good as a childrens pet), but I still love her to bits!
Anyway, to my question... I've never had a bunny neutered before, it seems a big op for a bun and I'm a little worried about the aftercare. I know a lot of you work for rescue centres and have bunnies neutered all the time, how are they after the op? Do you bring them indoors to look after them? How do you stop them nibbling the stitches? How do you keep the op site clean etc?
Sorry for all the questions!! Before I took Darcy on, I never thought I'd get this attached to a bunny rabbit, but now I see why you all love'um so much!!
Thanks in advance

P.S - I've written this much and realised I've not asked the second question - durr!! I'll leave it a while after she's speyed, but I would like to take on a rescue hus bun at some point, what happens with regards to bonding? If I took on a rescue bun and they didn't get on, I'd feel awful having to take the bun back to rescue? Do rescues help with bonding?
P.P.S - Below is a photo I took of her munching her carrot tops in the kitchen the other day:
