Will my rabbits personality change?

Question

i Have an 8 month year old female rabbit i was thinking of getting her spaded so that i can get her a male neutered rabbit for a friend. Will my rabbits personality change if i get her spaded like at the moment she jumps and kicks in the air and like being handled. i dont want her to to get boring and life less will this happen and will getting her spaded improve the chances of her getting along with the male

Answer 1

well girl and boy rabbits don't really go well together and rabbits just don't really like to be handled, the prefer you to be at ground level with them.

when they kick there feet it is called a Binky and that means that they are happy, but to answer your question getting her spayed will change her behavior but she still wont like to be picked up

Answer 2

It will change for the better. She'll calm down and she won't be all concerned about breeding.

Answer 3

She may become a little more placid (calm) but since she's well past puberty, I wouldn't expect a big change. Her personality should be pretty much set by now. Spaying her WILL make it easier for her to accept another rabbit though. Females are often quite territorial, and can become aggressive if another rabbit tries to "invade" their space. You should find that she is not quite so fiesty, and will be easier to introduce the new rabbit to. Also, spaying her will eliminate the high risk she has of uterine cancer as she gets older. A large percentage of un-spayed females get this cancer, and it dramatically shortens their lives, so spaying is a good way to prolong her life.

Good luck with the introductions - be patient if it doesn't work out straight away - rabbits aren't always the easiest animals to introduce. It can take some time for them to accept each other, but if you persist, most times it works out. Pairing a neutered male to a spayed female is probably the easiest of all the matches.

All the best
