What age do you recommend neutering?

[Bunny Mum]

Have 3 boy buns that need doing. They were 16 weeks old yesterday terrible sprayers cant wait to have them neutered but not sure of the age.

Once their testicles decend it is safe to do it. I think that happens at about 4-5 months. So soon for you. Talk to a vet to be sure.

once their testicles have developed and, er, dropped, so to speak. usually around 5 months of age. i waited until my bun was approximately 6 months because i wasn't sure of his exact birth date.

I got BunBun neutered at 3.5 months old, and he was fine . He's my youngest neuter.

My two were born the first week of April 2005, and I had them neutered in September of that year.

As soon as the testicles descend you can neuter them. Sometimes as early as 3 months, and sometimes as late as 6-8 months.

I've had fosters done at young ages, around 3 months and they did wonderfully. Didn't even act like anything happened.

Yep, as everyone said, you can get them done as soon as their testicles drop. I had Starsky done at around 12 weeks old. In general younger rabbits cope and recover better with the op and with anaesthetic than old rabbits do.

I had two Flemish boys done at four and half months, they did great.

The 3 boys are dwarflops and we had a good look at them over weekend and it doesnt look like their testes have dropped yet but as soon as they do it will be OFF with them!!!

Thanks for everyones advice:jumpforjoy:
