How old does a female rabbit have to be to spay her?

They can be spayed as early as 4 months old, but many veterinarians prefer to wait until they are at least 6 months old because surgery is riskier on a younger rabbit.How old does a female rabbit have to be to spay her?
6 months of age. It may be 360$ or more tho and you must see a reputable exotics vet otherwise the possibility of death can be greatly increased and she can die from the medication they give her to put her to sleep while they do the operation. Make sure you do your homework and know what medications they shouldn't use and make sure their death rate for the operation is less than 1%. Always ask the price before you go in, many people do not know how expensive it can be for a female rabbit because it's more invassive than a neutering and smaller genitilia than a cat or dog.How old does a female rabbit have to be to spay her?
It depends on the breed as growth rate varies depending to size and weight and internal development. An average Dwarf/holland lop can be spayed between 4-6 months.





I have always had my doe's spayed at 6 months to make sure they are developed internally.


Spaying too soon can lead to internal complications later on
