Why Spay & Neuter?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To put it simply, it's one of the best choices you can make for you & your rabbit.
🐰 A Healthy Life:
Rabbits that are spayed or neutered live longer, healthier lives, & the risk for reproductive cancers are virtually eliminated.
🐰Bonded Buddies:
It is crucial to ensure that both rabbits are spayed/neutered before initiating the bonding process. Quite honestly, this is a MUST, and our rescue requires that both buns have the procedure & are recovered before we are even able to schedule a date. This increases the chances for a successful, positive companionship, for more reasons below.
🐰Aggression/Problem Behavior:
spaying/neutering greatly reduces and often eliminates aggressive or destructive behaviors, like biting, chewing, lunging, or chasing, and sexual aggression triggered by hormones.
We've worked with many families on litter box training and their bunny spraying, and this has often been resolved by getting the bunny neutered being key. For both males & females, after surgery rabbits are much easier to litter box train.
🐰Overpopulation & Dumping Crisis:
We get dozens of caregiver surrenders of “my rabbit accidentally had a litter of rabbits, I didn't expect this to happen”. You should definitely expect it to happen if you have an unaltered male & female together or in the same area.
💰 If you have financial limitations, our team can connect you with resources local to your area that fit your needs!
***However, if you don't have a rabbit currently, but are thinking about getting a rabbit and know that you don't have the financial ability to care for a rabbit, please do not get a rabbit.
Pet Stores, Breeders, Fairs and other programs often don't provide proper education or ensure rabbits go to good, knowledgeable homes, thus, contributing to the cycle of breeding, dumping, & over population.
Please don't contribute to the problem of overpopulation. There are millions of rabbits every day b
Wonder is still adoptable!!!
A message from Wonder's incredible fosters:
"I can’t wait til he meets his family. He’s so unique. He’ll also interact with you when he’s playing, which I haven’t experienced with another bunny. Like he’ll run up to you, boop, and run away teasingly".
They're working with him so closely every day, and his fosters say that he is SO close to jumping right in their lap!
Wonder is neutered, litter box trained & microchipped.
This handsome guy is waiting to meet you!
