Question

does a male rabbit have to get spayed?

what if it doesn't?

other details?

Answer 1

Male rabbits don't get spayed EVER they get neutered.

Male rabbits only need to be neutered if they start spaying or if they start having a change in attitude.

There is no health benefits to neutering a male.  

Answer 2

Male rabbit don't get spayed; they get neutered. Technically you don't HAVE  to neuter them but it is highly recommended.

Unneutered rabbits will spray and are MUCH harder to litter box train.

Unless you plan on breeding him, you should DEFINITELY spay your rabbit.  

Answer 3

A male rabbit does not "have to" be neutered. Many pet owners choose to have their bucks (male rabbits) neutered though because it cuts down on territorial behaviors, such as spraying urine, and also helps cut back on hormal behaviors. Some bucks will need it more than others. The two bucks I use in my breeding program are relatively calm, and we can let them out to play with us without too much of a problem. But some bucks are so hormonal that they'll mount everything that moves- not exactly fun. So it's really up to you and your individual rabbit's behavior.

It is more necessary for does (female rabbits) to be spayed because it also prevents territorial and hormonal behavior, but it prevents certain cancers in does too, which is why a lot more does are spayed now.

If you choose not to have your buck neutered, as I said, you may experience some less than desired behaviors. But other than that, it really should not affect his quality of life. If you have the money and a rabbit savvy vet in your area who can perform the operation, I say go for it. But if not, it's not totally necessary either.

Answer 4

No a male rabbit doesn't have to get neutered, however it is always a good idea. Neutering rabbits at a young age (3-6 months) can cut down on unwanted behaviours such as spraying and urine marking. Keeping an intact pet can also create some other problems...it does make it more difficult if you were going to introduce another rabbit at some point or another. Also, rabbits can develop testicular tumours at an older age and thus by neutering them you can eliminate the problem all together.

Answer 5

I raised tons of rabbits, and the vet never suggested to get my rabbits spayed or neutered. I don't even know if they do that?? I just kept my rabbits in separate hutches, because if they do mate and the female has a litter the male rabbit will eat the entire litter!!!! Sometimes the female will eat her young, but not as often as the male. The male rabbit will do this so that female goes into heat again (with babies she will not go into heat until they are a few weeks old), and he can do his manly thing once more.

Answer 6

Male rabbits are neutered, not spayed.  I'm not going to tell you that is 'has' to be done, but they make much more pleasant companions if it is done.  Unaltered males spray smelly urine to mark territory. Also they can be territorial and possessive of the cage, pen, and you. This can be exhibited by grunting, lunging, scratching and biting (and they bite hard!!).  Some particularly hormonal bucks will hump you. Also, unaltered rabbits can not be housed together and recent studies are showing that rabbits with a bonded companion live longer and recover from illness faster than 'only bunnies' who live alone.  Unaltered, same s*x will almost always fight, and opposite s*x will, well, multiply rapidly AND fight.
