Personally I would say yes, as it helps with hormonal behaviour and has huge health benefits (80-85% of unspayed does develop uterine cancer by the age of 5)

Also as they are unneutered that will explain why they wee whilst out as they are marking their territory, this will most likely stop after they are neutered

Re: peeing problem!!

Do they have a litter tray? Rabbits are very easy to toilet train. With mine I just left a tray with hay in it where they tended to pee (ie, corner of hutch/cage) and they quickly learnt to use it - even when they're out and about in the room/run.

Re: peeing problem!!

they have got a litter tray but they choose where they 'go' even if they can see the litter tray...... also can you still litter train them at hte age of 4 1/2 (roughly)

If they are does I would wait until they are 6 months or over 1kg in weight if they are bucks then as soon as they drop their furry teabags and over 1kg

You can litter train them before being neutered but as I said before as they are entire they will still have the urge to mark every where
