How to Prevent Uterine Disease in Rabbits

Rabbits generally make healthy pets, though certain breeds have a high chance of developing uterine cancer. Spaying rabbits will decrease the risk of uterine disease.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Prevent uterine disease by having your pet rabbits spayed.

2. Have females spayed at sexual maturity, which is usually around four months of age.

3. Have males neutered before puberty, which takes place around four to eight months of age.

4. Keep in mind that spaying and neutering rabbits also controls overpopulation and destructive or aggressive behavior, which heightens at sexual maturity.
