🐰✨ WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR RABBIT ✨🐰

Spaying (females) and neutering (males) is about so much more than preventing babies. It is one of the most important things you can do for your bunny’s health, behaviour, and overall happiness.

🐰 Protect Their Health
• Females: Extremely high risk of uterine cancer as they age
• Males: Lower risk of reproductive cancers and related issues

🐰 Calmer, Happier Bunnies
• Less aggression and territorial behaviour
• Reduced spraying and marking
• Easier bonding with humans and other rabbits

🐰 Prevent Unwanted Litters
Rabbits reproduce incredibly fast. One pair can lead to dozens of babies in a year. Sterilising helps prevent overpopulation and the endless cycle of suffering, ensuring more bunnies find loving homes

🐰 Better Companionship
Sterilised rabbits are generally more relaxed, social, and affectionate. That means a closer bond with their humans.

🐰 Peace of Mind
No surprise litters. Less hormone stress. A longer, healthier life.

⚠️ CRITICAL: Rabbit sterilisations are not the same as cats or dogs. Their anatomy and anaesthesia needs are very different. Always use a rabbit-savvy exotic vet experienced with bunnies. We proudly recommend our friends at Bryanston Avian, Exotic and Small Animal Clinic for all medical care for your buns

The ideal age to steri is usually 4–6 months, depending on your vet’s advice.

This Peacock obviously chose a winning side :)

This is Bruno and he is our very latest rescue—a healthy young German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP).
​They have traditionally been used as gun dogs, which we, as a wildlife rescue centre, will have absolutely no use for. However, if he has a good nose and wants to track and point us in the right direction for injured wildlife—and if he is happy to do so—he can join our working K9 gang. We’re probably going to need to invest in a bigger bed😉
He is currently with our vet Dr Jean at Bryanston Avian, Exotic and Small Animal Clinic for a general medical and neutering.
