Just postponed spay appt for Abigail for 1 1/2 month. She is a lionhead, 6 months old, but only weighs 869 grams. Vet said that is pretty light. She weighs less than our guinea pigs. Our other lionhead, Dutchess, is much older and weighs closeto 5 lbs, already fixed. Does anyone have experience getting very small females neutered?
Minimum weight for spaying?

Not a small female but a small male. He was a holland lop mixed so he's really small, about 1kg-1.1kg when he got neutered. We just got a cbc and blood chem to see if he was fit to get fixed 
For my youngest bun, I asked my vet if she had any other requirements before I can get my lady bun spayed (all my previous buns were all over 1year when I got them fixed). She said my bun had to be at least 1.5kg and 6months old

Our vets spay if bunny is 16 weeks and over 800g. Just make sure you go to a very good rabbit vet.
