Does spaying or neutering a rabbit influence their behavior and social ability with other rabbits?

Spaying or neutering a rabbit can have a positive influence on their behavior and social ability with other rabbits. Neutering helps to reduce aggression and territorial behavior while spaying helps to reduce the risk of uterine infection and unwanted pregnancy. Spaying or neutering can also make it easier for a rabbit to bond with other rabbits, as they will no longer be driven by hormones. In addition, if two rabbits are neutered and spayed at the same time, they are more likely to get along better since they won’t be competing for sexual attention.

It is important to note that even after spaying or neutering, it is still necessary to introduce rabbits slowly and supervise their interactions until they are comfortable with each other. Additionally, spaying or neutering does not guarantee that two rabbits will get along; some rabbits may just be incompatible.

Overall, spaying or neutering a rabbit can help improve their behavior and social ability with other rabbits, but it is not a guarantee of success. It is important to take the time to introduce rabbits slowly and ensure that all interactions are supervised until the rabbits are comfortable around each other.
