Thank you, my friend says his rabbit has been in heat since winter and I'm like... ???
i was a little confused by what she ment...
my rabbits have never gone into heat
Well, yeah I meant I think she's in some sort of period where she wants to breed more or something? She's started getting a biiiiiiit more aggressive at times now.
Several weeks ago, when I read that 80% of female rabbits could get uterine cancer if unspayed, I was holding baby Aura in my hands and I cried. (Before I got her I knew they could get it, but not 80%, and I was already thinking of spaying her. ~ didn't know the price, then.)
But yes, I've decided I want to spay her, since it makes her a more calm, bubbly happy girl that I want her to be. <3
The price is about $166, but it could've been way more so its worth it. She's nearly 4 m. Now, and spaying is done at six m. At our hospital.
