Young Bun
Thanks so much for all the advice. I’m sorry to hear about those with rabbits who’ve not been spayed in time. I will definitely get her done x
It's not trying to scare people, we are just sharing real life experiences that could of been avoided had the bunnies been spayed earlier.Well, I think that cancer thing is blown out of proportion, if you start to look for evidence there's nothing proveable even close to the numbers always repeated by people with a pro-spay agenda. As far as I've read the rate is actually about max double as those of humans, about 20% (tumors in lifetime, not life ending cancer, that's still high, and we humans are closing in fast on that). It may depend on breed lines, but with the meat mutts here this is a complete nonissue.
Anyway, that's not the point, if you want her as a pet spaying is a great idea. None of my 4 girls is spayed, and they go through their hormonell cycle regularily, it dominates their behaviour (including digging, marking, craving for being bred, dominance behaviour etc.) . And if there is any buck nearby (a wild one will do, it's unbelievable how good a fence needs to be to fend those off) they'll manage to get knocked up. :roll:
Now my (intact) buck is my house bunny - perfect. Had a doe in my apartment for 8 months once (myxo quarantine), she destroyed everything, reduced all plinth to flakes and splinters - PVC and wood alike - , peed in every corner (closet, whatever), started to dig a tunnel straight into the wall - after 2" of plaster the bricks stopped her, any kind of cables were prey....
There are lots of really good reasons to get a pet doe spayed. It really doesn't need that cancer scare.
