Re: Girl rabbit at it like rabbit!

Crofty - the vets should have told her this when she got him castrated so hopefully it isnt an issue, also if she was pregnant she would have had the babies by now if she was pulling fur out over a week ago! The post was about the female mating with the male, so if he still had testostrone and was fertile then he would have been trying to mate with her, even male bunnies that have been castrated for 6 months usually still ocassinally try to mate!
Crofty - i'm also curious to know where you got your figures from, 80% of does develop cancer of the uterus??! This means that some crazy vet must have studyed houndreds of thousands of rabbits to get this figure, and half of thoose 80% would never be dignosed with uterine cancer (I may almost believe that if we were talking about breeding does)! I have a figure from local vets alone, that over 30% of rabbits (male and female) die from the anasetic while being neutered! I'd only ever chance this for a medical reason.
