MALE OR FEMALE OR BETTER PET

Question
Hello,

In your opinion, would a male or female
rabbit be more affectionate and healthy?
I've had both but the females seem to get
sick. In dogs, I prefer females!

Answer
Dear Anita,

I've had sooooo many rabbits that I can honestly tell you that there is more variation between individuals than can be explained by sex alone.  In my experience, males tend to be a little bit more goofy and affectionate (not to say I haven't had bossy, dominant males), and females tend to be a little more aloof and bossy (though I have had wildly affectionate females, too).  I can't say which makes a better companion.  I love them all for their quirks and individuality.  :)

Unspayed female rabbits have a high risk of uterine problems (including cancer), but other than that, I have not noticed that one sex tends to have more health problems than the other.

Don't know if any of this helps, but there you have it.  :)
