At about what age do unneutered bucks start spraying? Mine is about 1.5 years and has never sprayed. Is this a behavior that's still a possibility or is he most likely not a sprayer? I was under the impression that spraying was something they did more often than not.
 
if he hasn't already he probably won't, some don't but it depends on the rabbit. :) it usually starts when the hormones start around 3-4 months.

Thank you! I'm really hoping he's just not a sprayer and sounds like he's probably not. After talking to another rabbit owner, however, I started to wonder if maybe it was yet to come ... :)
 
FYI: I asked the breeder about spraying and she told me that it's a highly-inheritable trait; she doesn't breed bucks who spray her. She said if he was going to be a sprayer, he would've started at 5 months.
