Expert Answer

An unneutered male rabbit may face these problems. First, it keeps producing sexual drive, shown as frequent urine spraying to mark territory, chasing other rabbits (any sex), trying to mount animals or objects, stronger aggression, and easy excitement or anxiety.

Second, it may develop reproductive diseases such as prostatitis, prostate enlargement, testicular tumors, and torsion, causing difficulty urinating, pain, or urinary infection. Finally, if it contacts an unspayed female, it causes unplanned breeding, producing many hard-to-home offspring and burdening the owner, and may cause inbreeding harmful to the young.
