About 6 months of age for a flemmie, as they arebigger they mature slower. If the bun is not sexually maturealot of vets have problems finding the uterus and ovaries to removethem.

If want to see about doing it a bit earlier, start looking for a veryexperienced vet. One that does spays/neuters for a rescuewould be really good as they tend to try to get the buns in as soon aspossibe as it makes group living easier and they will have done a largenumber.
