Neutering and Spaying a Rabbit

Assalamalaikum wbt

It's always been a debate whether to neuter/spay a rabbit or not. Many people said that they won't do this 'cruel' things to their rabbit as it will prevent the natural instinct to breed and reproduce. Cost and lack of knowledge are another limiting factors for most people.

So why spaying/neutering?

1. Medical reasons
- unspayed female rabbits are prone to uterus cancer as high as 80% after age 5 years. So by spaying the rabbits, they will live longer and healthier.

2. Behavior
- both male and female rabbits will spray urine to mark their territory. They're also aggressive towards each other or to other pets when they've reached their sexual maturity. Having your rabbits alter will make cut off the aggressive behavior.

3. Litter box training
-become much more easier

4. Avoid unplanned litter 

-if you keep one pair rabbits together, they will breed and end up with a litter. Ok maybe for the first time you're excited with the cute little baby. But how long you can withstand if the rabbit giving a birth every 3 months? Soon your house is full with rabbit and also its waste
