Question
i was wondering how much i should be willing to pay for neutering a male dwarf. and at what age i should have it neutered? thanks!!

Answer
Dear Sarah,

A male rabbit can be neutered as soon as the testicles descend, which is usually around the age of four months.

Prices for neutering surgery vary with geographic location.  I've heard prices as low as $90, and as high as $400 (which is a bit excessive!).  Average is probably around $175-200, but again, it depends on where you are.

To find a good rabbit vet who can safely neuter your boy (you often get what you pay for!), please check the list linked here:

Hope that helps.
