Age to neuter

22 11:18:59

Question
I have five baby rabbits, they are seven weeks old. What age do they have to be to get the males neutered? How old are they when they start to mate?

Answer
Generally as soon as you see their testicles descend, which can be anywhere from 3 months up.  When they start mounting their cage mates, check, and as soon as you see them they can be neutered.

Depending on the breed, it can be anywhere from 3 months on up.
