Expert Answer

After a male rabbit is neutered, its hormone-driven aggression, territory marking (such as urine spraying), and dominance-fighting behavior drop sharply, and its temperament becomes steadier than before. Second, because urine-spraying behavior decreases, the cage hygiene improves and their urine odor also fades. In addition, neutering lowers the male rabbit’s risk of certain sex-hormone-related diseases, such as prostate problems and testicular cancer. Finally, neutering removes the male rabbit’s ability to reproduce, avoiding the keeping burden brought by frequent heat cycles and mating.
