I know this isn't going to go over very well, but I think if I were to do it over again, I would not have him neutured! Popular wisdom has it that neutering doesn't change the rabbits personality, but Hershey's has changed since the surgery!
Before: I would come down stairs and he would be estatic! He's race around the room, show off how fast he could go through his tunnels, and jump over his toys. He's do some binkies, run around my feet a few times, then sit in the "groom me" postition so I could pick him up. When I picked him up, he would snuggle and purr and groom me back.
After: I come downstairs, and have to search to find Hershey. If he is where I can't reach him, I have to coax it him out. If I can reach him, he usually lets me pick him up, and he will snuggle and purr and sometimes groom me. Sometimes, though, he clearly does not want any attention. I get a foot flick and the cold shoulder. Occasionally, he runs around alittlebit, and acts happy to see me, but he doesn't have that exuberance he used to. No binkies.
I really miss the happy Hershey!
And yes, he's been back to the vet after the surgery, and the vet said he was fine!
