Hi,
Is there a way to tell if a male bunny has been done, I forgot to ask the vets?
Thank you

He has bald and rather purple testicles - bother!
He is over 4 years old so very obvious but we had to root!
Some days I cant really get my head round what I need to do!
Thank you both.

The bald and rather purple bit made me laugh! At least the op for a boy bunny is simpler…

I am in a bit of a pickle with this, we very recently lost a gpig after castration and when I had my bridge rabbit Rupert castrated this op went wrong and he was a long time healing. I am really scared about putting kanga through this.
In addition I dont have an exotics vet in my town anymore.
We are also in the process of having to move house, we are moving in with Dad who's mobility is really poor - so Kanga will need an area to call home - dont know that he can free roam around Dad as Kanga wants to be next to your feet and I am worried about dad stepping on him or falling. This is an unexpected expense to house Kanga as I want something for year round that I can walk in and out of and has access to a bit of garden.
If Kanga was inside with us I am tempted to keep him single but I cant do that if he is going outside.
I wish he didnt have testicals.

I'm sorry you've been through so much with castrations recently. Guinea pigs are a much more complicated operation than rabbits due to their anatomy, and they are more difficult to manage under anaesthesia.
There's no rush to get Kanga done, unless he's likely to start spraying in a new set up when you do move. I agree that having him running free around your dad isn't going to be safe for either of them, plus he may chew wires, etc.
Are there any puppy panels, baby gates or large dog crates available on a local online marketplace? You don't need to get new ones. I've even used the big square child safe fire guards before to make up parts of runs.

Thank you Shimmer, he and the pigs are in C & C grids so I can use these to create safe spaces initially.
I know the photo does not show it but the run is 3 wide 5 long and he has access to most of downstairs - he seems to like "helping" me pack!
