Question
Hi Dana,

I have a male dwarf bunnie and i wanted to have him nutered.

DO you know if it is dangerous to have a rabbit nutered?
DO you know many people that have had it done?

Answer
Dear Natasha,

No surgery is 100% risk free, but literally thousands of rabbits have been neutered by hundreds of rabbit people I know.  There are very rare, idiosyncratic problems, but the vast majority of these surgeries are uneventful.

I hope that helps get you started.  Please write back if you have any other questions.
