rabbit spayings

Question
Hi. I am the owner of 2 young female rabbits--one is about 2-and-a-half, and one is 1-and-a-half. Because the older one needed an expensive medical procedure last year, I didn't have money at the time to get them spayed. I want to spay them this coming year, but was wondering if there is any age limit to spaying -- are they too old?
Thank you!

Answer
Dear Sarah,

Neither of your bunnies is too old to be spayed.  The key is to find a good vet who is very experienced with rabbits. You can find one here:

You can also read more about spay/neuter and pre- and post-operative care at:

Hope that helps. Please write back if you have any other questions.
