Potty Training

[Rabbits R Cool]

I have two bunnies, If I don't get them spayed or neutered, can I still potty train them?

Yes, you can potty train them! But they might poop outside of their litter box frequently. But even my spayed & neutered rabbits poop outside of their litter boxes..

How much does it cost to spay and neuter rabbits that are 3 months old, or does it not matter how old they are? Also, my rabbits pee in the litterbox but its rare for them to poop inside it. Anyone know why?

I think they have to be at least 6 months old. My male rabbit was about $100 and my female was about $114. But it varies from vet to vet..

So glad you are taking the responsible route to spay and neuter your buns. There are hundred of buns in shelters so until they have homes, we don't need to produce more

My buck was litter trained before he was neutered, but neutering helped with territorial issues. I got him neutered for $50 at our local spay and neuter facility. Females must be at least 5 months before getting spayed, and males need to be at least 3 months.

I'd call some rabbit savvy vets in your area. Local rabbit rescues are usually good at recommending vets that are truly rabbit savvy. Prices can vary hugely depending on the area you live. I'd suspect CA will be quite high. In my area, a spay is $250.

Your vet will determine how soon (at what age/size) he will be willing to spay or neuter. Some are willing to do it at younger ages than other vets will.

And, yes, neutering helps tremendously with litter training. Males especially can be inconsistent with training if they are intact. They also (as they age) can get really pungent urine if left intact.
