This Easter, a neutered bunny is a happy bunny

The Blue Cross has taken in 79 rabbits in the first quarter of this year, which is an increase of more than 20 from last year.

Small animals coordinator Katie Stiles said: “We’ve had lots of unwanted litters in, including some babies that we had to hand-rear which was the first time we’ve done this.”

“They’d been left helpless after their own mum had a hysterectomy operation and couldn’t care for them and their owner was unable to cope with the round the clock care and attention they needed.”

According to My House Rabbit, a neutered bunny can live a healthier, longer life, because it leads to a decrease in the risks of cancer and urinary tract infections.

This informative bunnysite also states that the rabbit will become more docile, which is of obvious benefit to owners; the cute cuddly creatures will not lose their cheeky personality, but their destructive ways will diminish a little.

The calmness of the bunnies makes bonding easier, and as they love to live in pairs, you don’t have to worry about a sudden barrage of baby bunnies!

My House Rabbit informs us that male rabbits should be neutered between 3 and 5 months, whilst female rabbits can be spayed between 4 and 6 months.  Once rabbits reach 5-6 years, they are generally considered too old for such a procedure.

So this Easter remember your bunny’s health, and if you want to get a plan in place for your fluffy friend in case he or she needs medical help in the future, then you can compare rabbit insurance here.
