Question
im a new bunny owner and i have a few questions..i have a male dwarf, just got him valentines day and hes slowly warmin up to me, but from what i understand i should get him neutered, hed be more calm and cuddly and not spray so much...hes about 5 months old..is it expensive?safe..does it make them calmer? also how do i get him more comfortable with me..i hear people saying sometimes their bunnies just come up to them and lay with them, and one more question..i wanna litter train him but i dont know how to go about that and whether or not hell try to eat the litter..

Answer
hi alicia-at 5 months the rabbit is classed as an adult,so it may take a bit of time for him to get used to you.keep talking to it and picking him up.he will soon get used to you.
he may be clmer if neutered but it may be expensive, ring a vet and find out the cost.litter training may be hard now he is an adult but all I can say is to try
