Which makes a better pet? Do males spray ? Which is more loving? Can't afford to neuter, and Ilive in a small apartment.
Thanks
Thanks
good idea i really hope I'm wrong and they are all girlsThe boys might spray, especially as they are growing up, in their teenage bunny months. There's not much you can do to prevent spraying, unless you nueter him. Even that sometimes doesn't curb it. I suggest maybe putting his cage in a corner, then you can put plastic over the two walls, and that would help the issue some for if he does spray.

I do have ten years experiencesexing bunnies and G pigs at 6-9 weeks old. So I'm really undecided about what sexmy babiesare being that theyso young. Like I said I hope I'm wrong What age can you tell for sure :?I don't think it's actually possible to sex them correctly at 2.5 weeks old. You would have to have some experience sexing rabbits.

Yes this does helpHmmm.... lessee... I used to hear that males were more friendly, and that may be true, but I think it depends more on breed and background than sex.
My girl Pipp is totally bonded to me, she has attitude, as does my other dwarf, Sherry, who's also an outgoing little sweetheart but definitely with attitude, she grunts and charges.
My male mini-rex, Dill, was an amazingly friendly, outgoing rabbit to everybody, although he didn't 'suffer fools gladly'.
My female mini-lop is a snot, and I have a male pink-eyed/white shy guy who's friendlier than the lop. And I just had a little neglected, initially non-neutered Holland lop boy through here who stuck like glue to every human in sight.
And I haven't have a problem with anybunny spraying because it really doesn't go very far and I think the girls have 'sprayed' too. The only difference is instead of wiping up a big puddle on the floor near the wall, it's more of a series of tiny puddles on the floor and a few inches up the wall, but it doesn't cover a lot more area. I barely notice the difference. (Although I think one of the Flemish boys could really project before his 'fix').
I neuter the boys more because of hormonal activities like inter-bunny aggression, circling and humping than spraying, and to make sure they don't reproduce if they leave my care.
The girls, however, must be spayed because of a shortened life span/serious health risks if they're not.
This probably doesn't help, LOL!

well then with me holding them every day since they where born maybe mine will be content and feel they don't have to spray.Males tend to be friendlier than females, some males spray..some dont. It depends on the personallity of the rabbit.
